Can you be certain there is only one player per IP number? It's
been a while since I've had to deal with this; however, what if
there is a workstation with two different players playing through
X terminal connections? Would they have the same IP address?

For that matter, could you use cookies to tell them apart? I know
little about how cookies work (and not that much more about IP
addressing, I might add).
