How can I authenticate to multiple OSQA instances on the same host?

I have basically the same question as this one but it never got answered.

I want to have two separate instances of OSQA on the same host, one at http://mysite.com/ and one at http://mysite.com/sub. I played around with the Apache configuration and have it working (I had to leave FORUM_SCRIPT_ALIAS as '' or I ended up with http://mysite.com/sub/sub/... in the URLs) except for the authentication. Authenticating to the / site is fine, but when I try to authenticate to the /sub site, it always redirects me back to the authentication page without logging me in.

I do have SESSION_COOKIE_PATH set to '/sub/' for the second site.

@jordan - My apologies, that was a pretty lousy title.
