SUMMARY
In the .NET Framework Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.1 documentation, the text under the &quot;Configuring SQL Server Mode&quot; heading in the &quot;Session State&quot; topic contains the following statement:

To configure a failover cluster, set the element in the Web.config file of the Web servers to the same value.

MORE INFORMATION
This statement is incorrect because the machinekey element does not affect SQL Server mode. The following is the correct information:

should be the same for State Server mode and SQL Server mode. should be the same for both the Web server cluster and the Web farm, but not only for the Web server failover cluster.
