Cookies cannot be shared across domains (except the supercookie, due to a
bug in IE and Netscape? See http://cookiecentral.com for more info)
Cookies are bound to either a domain (domain.com) or a FQDN host.domain.com
Netscape sees everything as a FQDN if you select originating server only.
This means host1.domain.com cannot see host2.domain.com's cookies.
And in all cases (except super promiscuous cookie) host1.domain.com cannot
see host1.domain2.com's cookies...
