I am setting up a portal with another server where that server submits an
HTTP POST request to my application, I do a bunch of queries and send the
results back in an XML output.

My question is:
If multiple users on the other end submit requests to my server and a
request hits my server before the previous one is completed, will the
session variables get all hosed up, since both requests came from the same
server? Will the session variables set by the first request get overwritten
by the second? Seems to me that two requests from the same server would
share the cookie information (CFID and CFTOKEN).

I know if I log into the application from two different browser windows, on
the same machine, the session variables do get overwritten. Seems to me, the
same will happen with HTTP POSTs.

If I'm right, how can I protect the variables set by one request from
getting overwritten by the next? Precede the variable name with a unique
number for each request?

I know I should know this by now. What can I say, I've led a protected life.
I've done more processing applications than front ends.
