This does happen, most commonly when a site uses a load-balancing proxy setup. According to the docs, this should not be happening by default, but is enabled through the verify_address key for the session configuration. On larger sites I've worked with, I ended up turning off IP address verification as it was causing more problems than it was worth (repeated login prompts). See the Caveats in the perldoc for Catalyst::Plugin::Session.

All the best

I am getting a surprising number of these warnings in the error logs:

Deleting session b00b8b9d82da06a738cd7fe4d57760d8a8d69cd5 due to address mismatch (146.229.203.46 != 64.255.180.21)

Is this something I should be concerned about? I've never really known how this is possible (client IP changes? user is roaming?)
