You can fix that, too, but setting session.cookie_domain to
'webbytedd.com' rather than letting it default to the current
HTTP_HOST value. That should allow the session cookie to be sent to
'ANYSUBDOMAIN.webbytedd.com' as well as just 'webbytedd.com'. Of
course, make sure you actually want this behavior. Some sites will
rely on different session pools for different subdomains.
