If NATS thinks that the code is something it shouldn't be the first time it sees it how is it to ever know it was changed?
Like I said, if there is a way to help we'd love to impliment it, but its doubtful.

Certainly the replacing codes might be difficult, but zango in particular works by opening a second browser to "replace the cookie". So if nats gets a hit from 111111 and 1 second later gets a hit for the same site for 222222, which one would be used?
