Machine Key when load balancing asp.net web applications

If you are load balancing ASP.net web applications you will need to generate a encryption key and add it to the web.config or machine.config on each machine in the load balanced server farm.

If you don't add this you will get the error


To do this
1. Go to this site and create a key.  It even created the whole tag for you so all you have to do is copy and paste it into your web.config or machine.config

2. add the new key in your web.config or machine.config
