No. There is a single cookie (the default name is something like
app_session where app is the name of the application). The associated
value is either a serialized ruby object containing the session (if
you are using the cookiestore) or just some completely opaque id that
rails can use to grab the session from the db/memcache/filesystem.
(You could have worked some of this out just by looking in your
browser's settings - you can list all cookies stored by your browser)
