How well does EE work in a load balanced scenario?
Does it store the session data in mysql?
I looked around for some posts about this, and didnt find anything good.
(i’m guessing at what to ask here, i’m the front end guy)

It certainly can be done (EngineHosting does it with great success), but it requires a bit more effort on the server side of things. Basically, you’ll want to place the load balancer between EE and your balanced servers so EE doesn’t even know it’s working in such environment, since it always gets to see the same interface, as it were.
