<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<br>
<br>
I am looking for a little guidance or a best practice.&nbsp; I am deploying a two node IDP cluster using Terracotta.&nbsp; I will be adding Terracotta to a development IDP to create a quorum in my cluster.&nbsp; My first thought was not to link Terracotta and Tomcat on the
 development machine since the development machine is stand alone.&nbsp; It occurs to me that if I link the two together I can test upgrades and other maintenance prior to deployment on the production IDPs.&nbsp; The second approach seems the better option but will I
 have session issues.&nbsp; The hostnames will be different so I will not have cookie issues but I am unsure of handling session ids.&nbsp; If someone can shed a little light on how sessions are handled I'd appreciate it.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
