No, it's quite easy, the REQUEST object has several variables that take
care of this (like REQUEST.BASEPATH1).

Note that cookies are already bound to a particular hostname and port
number, you can at most make them bind to a domain name instead, but this
in not the default behaviour. And it wouldn't solve the problem in this
situation.
