Clustering IDPs with different hostnames

[Christopher Bland]

Hello all,

I am trying to propose a solution to my superiors but am unsure if it is 
possible.  I would appreciate a sanity check.  I have two seperate IDPs 
(IDP-A & IDP-B).  Each has its own unique entity id which it uses to 
service SPs.  I want to associate specific SPs with IDP-A and others 
with IDP-B, these associates are exclusive to each IDP.  If IDP-A & 
IDP-B are using Terracotta to share session info. My question is this, 
is there any way for a user to go from a SP serviced by IDP-A to a SP 
serviced by IDP-B without being forced to reauthenticate because the 
_idp_session cookie does not match IDP-B's hostname and vice versa?

Thanks in advance,

-Chris
