I'm just not getting it.

Can someone take a look at this site, and maybe give some insight?

Or at 216.93.188.140 you can see a test intance which has the following
ROOT/META-INF/context.xml

   <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
   <Context path='/' cookies="false">
   </Context>

I can share with you lots of log lines showing the JSESSIONID, including
crawls by Google, Alexa and Exalead.  A quick scan of the Google index shows
cached pages with JSESSIONID.  2224 of the 9273 log lines from today have
JSESSIONID.  I have thousands on thousands of crawls of the same content, on
the same day, with different JSESSIONID's.

Here are some examples:

I am 1000% certain that not all bots browse with cookies, at least not all
the time.  How can I stop these bots from crawling me so often?  It is over
25% of my bandwidth just to the duplicate crawls, never mind the regular bot
traffic.
