I would also be grateful for the ability to suppress sessions for the
purpose of my load balancer. I would like the load balancer to check for
a response from an IC page. That way it would take a real server out of
the pool if IC is down. I had it set up like this before but too many
session files were being generated. I run in UNIX mode.
