I'm not sure I understand the question.

I think you're contemplating have two CAS server instances, in multiple 
domains, with applications validating service tickets against a 
different CAS server instance than the one users interact with in 
obtaining these tickets.  And then the idea is that this will work 
because the two CAS server instances are sharing ticket registry state 
via a shared database.

Am I understanding the proposed solution?


(Roughly, knee-jerk reaction is: "Don't do that."  CAS is meant to be a 
central authentication service.  Put it somewhere where users can use 
its UI to log in, and services making use of it can access its informal 
web services to validate service tickets, and it will simply work.)
