Re: Sessions problem

I believe there's a domain limitation inherent to the way cookies work (assuming a cookies-based sessions setup), but there may be some way of circumventing that (can't some ad banner companies track visitors from site to site?). Seems like a multi-file search and replace should do the trick. If you're using UltraEdit/BBEdit/Emacs you should be able to update your links without too much effort.
