There is no good way to really handle this between domains and keep the
user logged in. I doubt there are any real "best practices" on this.
If you're disparate, you might be able to use some tricks to make it
work, but all in all, I don't think it's a very easy thing. Cookies &
sessions just don't span multiple domains!
