There is another solution, you can use both sessionID's and cookies, so
based on the IP address you would look for the cookie before giving the
user access control. The session ID will store 2 fields (example userid
and associated ip address) the cookie will hold other fields. And u can
use multiple sessions and multiple cookies that will be destroyed upon
opening another page.

Has anyone going down this route of incorporating an IP address into
the cookie gotten pushback from people on networks with multiple
proxies or routing rules?
