Take a close look at the logs. I recently had a problem where the DNS and
the web server didn't agree on the domain name of the host running JServ.
One cookie was getting set by the webserver's domain, and one was being set
for an alias. It seemed like sessions weren't being set, but two were
actually being set, one for each domain pointing at that box.
Does that make sense?
