This is a fairly basic question about state server but assume there are 2 servers behind a load balancer. How do I configure the session state server?

So, I have machine1 and machine2. I would assume that I would need to install the state server on 1 machine only and then use the internal IP to refer to that machine. Is this correct? As oppose too, I would not install state server on both machines.

In your scenario (and most webfarm scenarios), a single state server is right.

You could refer to it by the internal IP or setup a DNS entry for the IP on the internal network and refer to it using that.

Single state server is mad as you have no fault tolerance, if it does down its game over. You need a distibuted state server stored on both servers.
