can't log into website cached by varnish

[Andrew Langhorn]

I would assume that it's the value of the cookie that changes per logged-in
user, not the cookie's name. So, if you pass on the name of the cookie
rather than the value, you should be okay. Unless your solution for
multiple logged-in users requires multiple cookies, in which case you pass
on the existence of any.

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree there, though.
