yeah - i was thinking about just that - a server side probe. maybe i can
write a cookie to client, request it every 5 minutes or so, and remove the
userID from the application array if i don't get a response...

setting a shorter timeout on the session object won't help - the application
array persists beyond the session object, so the userID is still in there
(meaning the user won't be able to login the next time).
