i need some advice.
does $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} always return a value?
I mean, I want to use it in my session table to increase security, but I aint too sure about this.
Also what happens if a local network uses one pc for their Internet? That would mean they have the same IP. Is there anyway to distinguish between them?

thanks
Pedge

It is always defined even if using a proxy though you'll see the proxy address.
