Yup.  Creates a new session ID every time you call a script, and sends
the new ID to the browser every time.

The commercial products we've used can handle this.  I'm guessing I
just need to write a plugin that I can specify which cookie value
holds the session ID, and have it maintain it as it changes.
Doesn't seem too difficult, except that I'm not familiar with Python
or the w3af framework :(.
