First off, cookies do not cross domains, period. The setting you are referring to has something to do with hosts.
Secondly, I have _never_ been able to reliably pass client variables between domains. This is one of those holy grail type things for me... I suggest an alternative scheme. 1) Tell CFAdmin to store your client variables in a database. 2) Set setclientcookies to yes in your cfapplication tag (for scability). 3) Pass cfid and cftoken from domain_1 to domain_2 as url variables or as a form submission, but change the name of the variables (i.e. passed_id & passed_token). 4) Put a cfif in your Application.cfm page to check for the passed variables and use CFSET the cfid and cftoken values within domain_2. Maybe this will help.

Here's a snipped from cfapplication documentation: setDomainCookies Optional No Yes: Sets CFID and CFTOKEN cookies for a domain (not a host). Required, for applications running on clusters. No So , the setDomainCookies parameter in cfapplication is NO by default. I hardcoded the parameter in cfaaplication to test and i'm still loosing my client variables.
