This is a prefectly acceptable behavior according RFC 2109 since it makes no provision
for dealing with different servers running in the same host.  And it most certainly does
not deal with any specific ports.  In other words the server that received the cookie 
should ignore any such cookie if it did not request it or does not understand what it is.
That is what the specification suggests for such circumstances.
