Hi there,

First of all, great work with SignalR. I only discovered this a few days ago and I am absolutely amazed by it.
I am currently running some tests to see if I can make a message notification widget for my site.

I could not find a forum for questions so please forgive me for posting here if it is in the wrong spot.

I have a ascx usercontrol with SignalR that sits as a footer on each page.
This usercontrol has a hub that is created on the fly (basically similar to the wiki hub getting started example code).

My question is, each time the page reloads does a new connection get created on the server?

Ideally I would only want one hub connection per client so in the event that duplicate connections are being created per page load is there somewhere server side, or client side I can check to prevent potential duplicate connections?
