This is especially true for something like the iphone or other wireless internet
devices. If your user is moving, even just walking sometimes, they can switch
the proxy server they will be coming from. Which means they will be logged out.

Third, if you ever have to scale your application so that's it's behind a
reverse proxy (a very typical first stage when scaling) everything will break
since everyone will appear to be coming from the same IP.
