I recently moved my application to a more powerful server.  Since doing 
that, about once a week or so, my users will report issues where they see 
someone else's session.  For example, they'll click a link that takes them 
to page A, but instead are taken to page B from someone else session (noted 
by the user's name displayed on the page).  Or sometimes they'll see the 
javascript objects of ajax requests displayed as text.  I'm guessing it has 
something to do with old cookies being on people's machines from before the 
server migration.  

This happened last time I moved my application to a new server.  After many 
server restarts and begging my users to dump their cookies, the issue 
finally went away permanently.  

The problem is that this time around I have triple the number of users, so 
getting everyone to properly dump their cookies is becoming a futile task.  
People are resistant to doing so because their browser loses all its 
remembered logins and settings and such.  

Is my cookie assumption correct or are there other forces at work here?  If 
the issue is with old cookies, is there some way I can utilize the server 
to force all old cookies to be removed?  I've tried setting extremely low 
session expiration, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
