Most session IDs without a login aren't sufficiently unique. You'll
need to have additional criteria to ensure that to machines with the
same browser and hardware connecting to your server from the same IP
address are able to be differentiated between the two. That's up to
you. You sound like you need to do a lot of reading up on this before
you come up with a viable solution. Publically available stuff without
first authenticating the user will only get you so far.
