Have you tried setting the CookieDomain directive to .domain.com in
your first domain's catalog.cfg file and to .anotherdomain.com in your
other domain's catalog.cfg file?  Note the leading dot in both cases.

>From the configuration manual:

    3.12. CookieDomain

    Allows a domain to be set so that multiple servers can
    handle traffic. For example, to use server addresses of
    secure.yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com, set it to:

    CookieDomain    .yourdomain.com

    More than one domain can be set. It must have at least two
    periods or browsers will ignore it.
