>Description:
Now mod_usertrack sets cookie only for host
which is running apache.

However in some configurations, when you run cluster
of apache servers serving different sites under same
domain (for example: dev.apache.org, bugs.apache.org, www.apache.org)
it is desirable to preserve cookie information between servers.
>How-To-Repeat:
To achive that, I've developed patch:

ftp://ftp.crocodile.org/pub/apache-patches/mod_usertrack.cookie_domain.patch

Which adds additional keyword 'CookieDomain' which
controls for what domain cookie should be set.
In example above, it should be set to '.apache.org'.
