Lars,

The whole problem, from my understanding with Joomla, is that the cookie is set 
before you login. Joomla establishes the cookie session with ever anonymous 
user. The intention (from what I've read) is to avoid any session hijacking by 
establishing the session cookie (in Joomla's case it’s a random hash cookie 
name) right off the bat.

What I was trying to explain, in my post, was to dynamically restrict the 
anonymous seession setting on the login page only, and then have joomla 
continually send the headers reminding varnish to not cache any subsequent 
pages, if the user login and then starts to browse pages that would normally 
have cookies stripped + cached.

Does this make sense?

I'd love to hear alternative ways of accomplishing this with joomla 
specifically, or even with other CMS' that handles sessions similarly.

Thanks,

Kevin
