From my understanding a cookie can only be generated from a server in its
domain, since there would be problems with outside sides trying to forge cookies
for another domain. You might not be able to use "SQL1, 10.1.1.100 and
statuspage.cosite.com." in one cookie and may need to generate three separate
cookies.
