Tim, Building on the jsessionid idea, it sounds as though you need to assign 'semirandom' values for that. I don't actually know how the values are chosen, or whether you can intervene, but my idea would be...
jsessionid = <head = normal random value> + <suffix = sub-site> Then you would use a 'normal' timeout, and would not have to track expired jsessionids. When they came back with an unrecognised jsessionid (presumably timed out) you could look at the <suffix> and send the correct logon page. You might have to tweak this a bit to keep the normal jsessionid tracking operational - is there a hard length limit on the cfserver? Any good?

But that wouldn't help if we don't actually know which "session" to look at -- yes we'd have a list of their sessions, but how do we know which one use? No good storing it in the session, and storing it in client/cookies has the same issues as previously stated and ends up with the same problem but looking at it from a different angle.
