I think it's ok if you have less than ~64k or ~32k requests per second (and of course you have to be able to answer to all those requests really FAST) ;-) It depends on the system you use... PID counter rolls over after some value (~32k or ~64k or other - you have to check it). I dont think that i'll ever have such traffic on my sites ;) so i use this method frequently.
Hmmm... how about using
