Well it's actually an approximation.
What you can do is once a user hits the site, record the CFID and CFTOKEN or
whatever other persistent var you want to use to a database along with the
current date and time. And upon each subsequent page views, update the
database. At the same time you would poll the DB to see how many users have
hit the site within a time frame like oh say, one minute.
Simple.
