You mean letting the cookie be set for each and every domain (that is 
leaving cookieDomain empty) and then having this in DNS:

domain.tld:

www         IN A       1.2.3.4

otherdomain.tld:

subdomain1  IN CNAME   www.domain.tld.
subdomain2  IN CNAME   www.domain.tld.

and the cookie would be reused? I would have thought that. I should give 
it a chance.
