[FX.php List] Fun with time zones

[Jonathan Schwartz]

This is s new one for me. Wondering how others handle servers in  
multiple time zones....

I just launched a project that involved three different servers, each  
in a different time zone. Problems started cropping up when session  
handling kicked in. Users that were supposed to get an hour before  
session expiring were getting kicked off before then.

The decision to use multiple server locations was last minute in an  
effort to  improve hardware to handle anticipated load. Once the  
initial launch traffic slows down, the solution will probably be  
consolidated back to a single location.

So the question is, how to best handle time zones in this situation?

In this case, the fmp record creation said 12:00 when the confirmation  
email said 11:00 and so on.

I know that the answer is that it is just date math, but there are  
some baseline practices to follow, it appears.

Any words of wisdom?
