I think you may be barking up the wrong tree here Rian.
The problem is that user A and user B are talking through proxy C to JServ
D. From D's perspective, the only IP it is talking to is C. It never sees
or hears from A and B. So if it tries to store the IP in a cookie, it will
send back to users A and B the IP of C. Then when you get the next request
... it looks like they are both the same person.
I don't think servers should base user information on IP tracking. It's not
reliable, and users move around, etc. Try disabling it to see what happens.
If that doesn't work you could try putting expire tags in your HTML that
specify no caching (ie. always expired). That'll stop any caching involved,
but it kinda sux.
If it is your own proxy you may be able to configure it. But are you sure
your users won't be coming through someone elses proxy?
Tim.
