In defense of your idea, it sounds very reasonable.  Having a site made up of
several subdirectories doesn't mean it's a bad program to use the web as a
platform.  Certainly sessions should span directories when it's the same web
app.  IIS certainly treats it that way.

I unfortunately can't help though, as I have not done any work with sessions
on Mono yet.  I have done it extensively in IIS however, and eventually would
like to try porting it to Mono.
