Ah, but do they really match? In

"any server in the domain .lugnet.com" is not necessarily the same as
"the originating server", which is www.lugnet.com, correct? Can you
possibly alter your cookie so it is being sent from and back to
www.lugnet.com (or whatever the server's real name is) specifically, or
are you using multiple servers? Perhaps NS has a very narrow (and
correct, to my eyes) interpretation of what is the originating server,
which doesn't include anything in that domain.
Just my guess...
