Andre Rekhtine’s post a couple of weeks ago and some activity on one of my sights last night brought this to a head for me.

 

I had a sight last night that SearchPublisher 3.0 was indexing. I am sure they are similar to other search engines in that each request invokes a new user session. Imagine if you have 15 to 20 sites on a Witango server, the normal 30 minute session inactivity variable purge, normal traffic for each site and a few search engines start indexing the sites. User sessions can exceed the 200 sessions that Andre talked about real quick.

 

Are any of you addressing this and if so how?

 

I was thinking about building a table to keep track of user sessions that would maintain last access and number of accesses by user reference. Then having a cron job run every minute to find sessions with only one access for the last five minutes. The cron job would then purge the inactive sessions. I am not even sure I can do this as I can’t find a tag to purge other sessions users vars!

 

I keep my user vars low – 4 or 5 per session and I also realize that I could reduce the VARIABLETIMEOUT system setting, but there are a lot of valid user sessions that I prefer not to keep requiring a new session initialization.

 

Comments please.

 

Thanks
