Yes, but does that really matter? If you're using Store::Memcached for
example, one session would overwrite the other's data, thus you'll
loose data anyways. There's no perfect solution to this problem, I
guess :)

That's exactly what would happen, because the browser will store only
the last cookie it received.

Due to the few responses we've received so far, I take it that
nobody's really using the DBIC backend in a medium-sized app? What's
your favorite session backend (that works in a load-balanced
environment) and handles quite a lot of traffic? :)

Thanks!
