I thought about splitting it up actually. I didn't want to just do the whole ip like 
enterprise.10000.10182.192.168.254.12.3888206

[download]
even though I have seen that before because I don't really want them knowing the IP.

I also could split to two 16bit numbers, but it just comes down to simplicity. Why add 3 extra oid levels if I can just make one? That also makes it easier on the client, only having to remember one.

That was the whole point of this node. To find a way to get one unique 9 digit number out of the IP and sessionid.

There must be some kind of mathematical munging formula. I don't care really..it can use mod, division, whatever. As long as it's unique for that IP and sessionid. I don't even really need to be able to decode it. Can't anybody help???
