There was an interesting thread on slashdot a while ago about a trick to maintain 
state using the url, but not using the query string.  The trick was to store the 
session id in the subdomain.  So, if someone goes to http://www.foo.com/, then it'd 
redirect them to http://www.hsd7327823bsd8732.foo.com/ (or somesuch).  Nifty, but a 
lot of DNS purists complained.  Might be worth a look.
