Thanks again.  That’s what I was looking to clarify!

Indeed.

HTTP authentication has to re-authenticate on every single request - even within a persistent connection. It is naturally independent of IP unless you force them into a relationship.

That forcing is what all the max-IP and user-IP external ACL helpers are for. Simply dont use them and you will be fine even if each TCP connection has unique IP addressing.
