Well you may not need sessions on the other host in the first place, if it's
basically just a repository of files for download. But if your application
requires it, you can certainly do sessions across subdomains. 

There are a number of resources on Google, here's one:

Jeff,

Can I ask you handle authentication?  If the download request goes to
another host, isn't the user basically starting with no session?  Or are we
so lucky that a session on www.sitename.com is valid on
downloads.sitename.com?
