Getting cookies to set probally is a nightmare anyway, the hack you have found would just ciourse no end of support issues.

Cookies have always worked in the way you describe on all sites as www.domain.com is different to domain.com and so browsers will always see cookies as being set by 2 different sites.

I would recommend instead that you set domain.com to auto redirect to www.domain.com instead. This should also help Google rankings as they lower your page ranking if you have more than 1 domain pointing to the same content which www.domain.com and domain.com do.

It can be done, however it's not something that would be natively supported in the software.

The reason being is that cookies are one of the big problems with software that use them, by making the process even more complicated in this way would course no end of support issues and would not be recommended.

This is what I did at the top of common.asp:
 
Quote
Dim strRedirectURLQuery
If request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING") <> "" Then strRedirectURLQuery = "?" & request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING")
If request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST") <> "www.mysite.com" Then response.redirect "http://www.mysite.com" & request.servervariables("path_info") & strRedirectURLQuery
Set strRedirectURLQuery = Nothing
