Actually I goggled you question now and found out that the fe-user session 
is bound to one domain (and its subdomains).

So if you have two completely different sites you get what you expect. If 
you are on one domain with subdomains, you have to set the cookie domain to 
the specific subdomains. Then you probably will need to make a conditions in 
the localconf.php files (it is a php file after all, you can use if/else).

Some backgrounds: http://typo3.toaster-

Additionally you can lock user and/ or a group to a specific domain.

As I never handled such a setup, I can not give a best practice.
