Each instance of a variable is 1:1, but there's no reason why multiple instances of a variable cannot contain the same value. #client.userid# on machine a and b are separate variables, but they can both contain "mrbill"

I'm probably making it more complex than it needs to be. If I'm setting CF client variables, for instance, just a UserID to identify a returning member (customer, employee, whatever), will CF recognize the returning client from more than one computer? Maybe my misunderstanding stems from not thoroughly understanding how cookies are implemented. With CF client variables, can a 1:many (one set of client variables to many computers/cookies) relationship exist, or must it be 1:1?
