I came across something interesting, and wanted to ask people who probably
know more than I do...

We have a number of websites hosted on one IIS server, running via
Hostheaders (as in, more than one website on the same server, therefore, the
same IP address). For testing purposes, I have a PC running EZ-Firwall
5.1.039.004 (which I believe is just rebaded ZoneAlarm pro) on a Windows XP
Pro machine.

The FIRST site accessed running on a given server works fine.

The second site running on that same server, if 3rd party cookies are being
blocked, will have it's cookies blocked. I know that because the Site List
on the Privacy tab shows the sitename of the first site only. (This also
happens across sessions).

In other words, somewhere in Zonealarm, it's remembering the domain name of
the first site, associating it with the IP, and assuming any other site
coming along won't have the same IP... Except in the case of multiple sites
on one server (therefore one IP) won't work, except for the very first one
accessed. (ZoneAlarm Pro v5, session and persistent cookies allowed, 3rd
party, web bugs, and private header info blocked).

Any opinions on this theory, from people more versed in ZA? And is there a
way around it?
