asp.net-state

We have an ASP.Net MVC project that will start with a single web server but likely soon scale into a small web farm. As ASP.Net Authentication stores a UserID, and data caching may also be useful, we would likely need to make the jump to state server fairly soon.

I'd like to hear from others how State Server has been to work with and how it scales from a performance perspective.

Alternateively, we could architect it as completely stateless by not using data caching and tracking sessions with an encrypted cookie.

When using a State server for session, are sessions still appDomain specific?
