Ok, maybe all .au isps want to be AOL ;)

Over here most of the larger isps use transparent proxies with multiple
chidren ... and so the requests come from different ip#.  The 3 isps I
have used here all do it, and i refuse to use the largest, but suspect
they do it too.

Maybe just include something along the lines of "if you receive 'your
session could not be verified' errors every second page request then do
blah - AOL users will require this change to be made" ... or something
like that.

What version of apache?  
Using the stable snapshot of 4.2.3 from cvs.php.net?  or packages?

Please give me as much info as possible, I am madly trying to track down
a setup bug that seems to be affecting php 4.2.3 file_exist() on
relative paths ... it is a known bug in php4.2.3  See
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1153&group_id=509
for more info

Yeah, I would love to see it on phpgw.org, but it was an interim
solution.  imho it doesn't need a lot of polishing.
