Ok, I figured out what's happening....but not how to fix yet :)-
Each of my web server processes seems to have a different EMBPERL_SESSION_ARG
value...globally...in fact I think each Embperl Env I set is unique to each process.
I added a print out of the pid ($$) to the bottom of each page, and each time the
session ID changed, so did the PID.
Then, checking the logs I see that the PID that I see on my screen (keep in mind I am
getting the proper HTML output) is NOT in the log that corresponds to the site I
requested...it's in the other site.
So, I restarted apache and went to each site once...and recorded what PID was in each
log...each log held a different PID...not one PID showed up in both logs!
I then refreshed on "other.domain2.com" for awhile until the ID changed.
Lo and behold I hit a PID that only showed up in the Clients log file! Yet the
EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS (and every other ENV output, and other Embperl debug output, like
what file it processed, etc) is _correct_ for the site I wanted, yet the ID was
written into the Client's database (and log). So it seems that the
EMBPERL_SESSION_ARG is being ignore for the virtual for some reason...whatever the PID
handled _first_ sticks...even though the debug output reflects the proper output.
Now to figure out why that is! :)
