The cookies ARE always set with the domain as fgic.com. The problem is that
when someone visits www.bond-insurance.com, the browser sends the cookies
for THIS domain in the request object. But there are no cookies under
www.bond-insurance.com.
What I've finally come up with is to use an index.jsp file with the
following:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0;URL=http://<%= request.getServerName()
%>/index.html">
So index.html is my real homepage and I just configure Netscape to use
index.jsp as the default document before index.html so now everyone is
redirected to the proper domain.

If www.bond-insurance.com and www.financial-guaranty.com don't actually need
to access the data themselves, they can create a cookie with the domain set
to .fgic.com and www.fgic.com should be able to retrieve it.
