I think whoever said that http://cloudstock.com/ doesn't match
.cloudstock.com might be right.
I had a similar problem with cookies on kuro5hin.org. I needed to set a
session=blah cookie for www.kuro5hin.org, and a *different* session
cookie for scoop.kuro5hin.org. So I couldn't use .kuro5hin.org as the
domain. But I wanted people who came to http://kuro5hin.org/ to go to
www.kuro5hin.org by default.
What I ended up doing was targeting cookies at a host (i.e.
domain=www.kuro5hin.org), and setting up VirtualHost sections as
follows:
NameVirtualHost 216.181.35.174 # IP of www.kuro5hin.org
# Redirect all hostless requests to www VHost
<VirtualHost 216.181.35.174>
ServerName kuro5hin.org
Redirect permanent / http://www.kuro5hin.org/
</VirtualHost>
# Proper URI for www.kuro5hin.org
<VirtualHost 216.181.35.174>
ServerName www.kuro5hin.org
...etc...
</VirtualHost>
This way, people who come in to http://kuro5hin.org/ get redirected
right off the bat, and so far this seems to have solved the problem.

PS- General comment: Cookies are a neat idea, but good lord are they
ever a PITA to implement. :-/
