You are speaking about session data ?
If you could make your development with more scalable SQL engine in mind,
you could store and share these data among different web server. Then every
server could serve the users request in a round robin way.
PHP should have such library supporting multiple SQL back-end
(sqlite, mysql ...)
like SQLObject or SQLAchemy for python.
