I'm having a very difficult time with some of our new pages. We've
moved to a web farm, and it seems in spurts it will come where parts
of my page think the user is logged in, and parts think the user is
not logged in. It seems to happen to an entire control. (None of the
controls have OutputCache set)

For example, our login control on top will appear showing the user is
logged inw hen they have been redirected to RegNewUser, but RegNewUser
will display instead of redirecting as if the user were actually
logged in.

The MachineKey option in the web.config is set to a generated SHA1, so
the viewstate moves between the web servers just fine.

This seems to come in spurts where it will happen to a lot of users at
once, then it will stop coming. This is a serious problem on a
production website, I just don't know where to turn or how to debug --
everything looks fine!

I am also getting Forms Authentication failed events in my log:

Make sure the cookie path is the same on all machines. Make sure that the Web

W3SVC) is the same.
