Even less reliable. What do you do about corporate users - where
everyone shares one (or two) ip addresses (the proxies/gateways)?
Or very large corporations and ISP's (like AOL) which have a whole bunch
of proxies, and every request can come from a different IP address?
IP addresses are even less reliable than sessions.
