Yes, I did look at the session table and the various mechanisms initially, but wondered if I would be adding too much overhead by extending the session table. But I guess you are right, it is the most efficient way to do it, and since this table gets cleaned up, I guess it's the right way to go.

I just wanted to make sure I do this in the most efficient way possible. Thanks for the tip.
