When deploying multi-instance WebRole
to Windows Azure Emulator
, the Emulator is running multiple IIS Express instances of the WebRole, each one on a reserved local IP, like:
127.255.0.1
127.255.0.2
127.255.0.3
The problem is that i want to access the WebRole as if it was really deployed on Azure, i need to check that Session State
is persisted between instances.
Since my Session Id
is stored on a cookie, each time i'm connecting to a different instance i need to manually 'inject' the cookie to the request to check session data (since the browser considers the IP of the next instance as different domain).
Is there a way i can use a hostname
(on a Windows 7 machine) that will point itself randomally to one of those IP?
