If you happen to be running PHP, and you happen to be able to
integrate this well, there are settings in php.ini called
"use_trans_sid" which tell PHP to put its session id into the URL.

PHP will automatically cram the session id into every link, every
form, every src= and so on, if you turn that on.

You may also want to look at the notes from this talk:
http://jasonrexilius.com/GloballyDistributedWebCluster.php
in which Jason Rexilius describes a method of storing the session data
itself in the cookie in section 5)

I think he's got a more article-oriented version online somewhere, but
it didn't turn up in my quick Google.
