For some users it means changing addresses at every request. The
traditional thing was the AOL Proxy. I regularly see the same for mobile
provider users from places like Singapore, and for mobile Opera browser
users that run through "optimizing" proxies run by Opera. With the current
Google Chrome update such a "feature" arrives in google world, so over the
next year it will become even more common place - probably making geoIP
also a thing of the glorious past...

So, unless you know your userbase exactly and know exactly that they will
not be affected by such issues, fixing the session to the client IP just
doesn't fly.
