I have a webfarm where the configuration is shared (not replicated). Everything I am reading says machine keys need to be the same for websites/applications on different servers in a webfarm. What are the ramifications if the machine keys are set to be the same on each web server at the IIS level instead of having different machine keys for each website/application? Is this a security risk? I would just like to set the machine key once per server and not every time a new website is created.
Thanks,
Matt
