Answer 1

It is completely specific to your web-server. For Apache, look here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_session.html

It even allows sessions to be stored in database by using mod_session_dbd. Therefore physical limits like 1 file per session can be overcome. Moreover, Apache can be configured to keep track of per user sessions stored on a particular server or group of servers for scalability.
