Hi All,

I posted about this problem a couple months back where 2 of my extremely
busy Cold Fusion Servers were swapping session & client variables with
each other and I was noticing duplicate CFID/CFTOKEN inserts into the
client database when I trapped the errors with CFERROR.

Digging through the Macromedia archives, I found an article explaining
how to avoid duplicate CFTOKENs being delivered by the server (and
therefore duplicate sessions/client variables)  It does so by using a
UUID for the token rather than an x digit number ... This is the same as
in CFMX when you turn on USE ClientUUID for CFTOKEN in the CF
Administrator.

Anyway, I heard a couple others were experiencing the problem and
thought I should post this here.  Some people even went so far as to
record the IP address of the client into a session/client variable and
kept checking it against the current CGI.REMOTE_ADDR and if it ever
differed, they would log the user out.  This would be a good solution
except for AOL who constantly changes the IP addresses of its users in
mid-session.
