Indeed not, when you don't have allow multiple connections on, if anyone 
successfully connects with an account that already has an open session, the 
first session is closed, and a new, valid session is created for the second 
login.

What you want is to lock out any login attempt untill the first session is 
closed.  You could code it as an option.  

However, be aware  that that if for some reason a session is abnormally 
terminated (say a gateway get's power-cycled), all your users would be 
effectively locked out of the system untill their session times out.
