I really don't care if my browsers sees the IP consistently - I'd rather just stay logged in. have you considered that your enterprise level software might require a custom session handler (see http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php) maybe some kind of mysql cluster running a master-slave config? which would potentially give you real transparency in case of a failed node. > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
