Session state and multiple application pools

[Wayne Sepega]

We have a website with multiple web applications, most of the applications
have their own apppools. When a user logs into the site we put some
information in their session, but due to different apppools these session
items are not shared across the multiple applications, nor can we clear the
session info in the log off page we have.

As far as I know there is no way to get around this if the session is stored
in memory, my question is:

If we were to set up a session server or session database, using the default
functionality in the frame work, would this solve the issue?

If not I guess the only way to solve it would be to write our own session
state manager?

Thanks
