There is _no_ way at the proxy level (or at any level but the client OS level) to detect the number of browser sessions. HTTP is sessionless, and that is a basic design principle. The only way a server (proxy or web) could know how many sessions the user is running would be if the browser had some explicit hints, and as far as I know no browser offers such hints. Kinkie
