I don't think that any access server can keep SessionID state between reboots or
crashes
Also keep in mind that you can have more than one access servers and one mysql
database :-)

So setting AcctSessionId to UNIQUE by default is not possible.
There are really nice reasons to set AcctUniqueId to UNIQUE (like working well
with accounting timeouts) but again i don't think that it is something we should
put in by default. It is much better to leave that decision to the system
administrator.
