Could not find any reference in 9iAS rel 2 to mod_ose (or mod__ose). I
would assume it is part of the Apache install but it simply isn't there. I
know mod_ose was in 9iAS rel 1 but it seems to have been mysteriously
dropped in release 2.
As for mainting state, cookies don't work very well with multiple sessions
on the same machine, since all browser instances share the same cookie data.
