Forms Authentication

I've successfully set up RS to use Forms Authentication. However, here's
something strange. The first time I access Report Manager (say after a
reboot) and enter the admin credentials, RS churns and churns, then I end up
back at the login screen. If I enter the same credentials again, I get
logged in successfully.
Any one else experience this issue?
ThxAre you using the same server name to access the report server in your
browser as is set in the config files? If not, the cookie won't be getting
through due to cross-(web)domain security.

So, how do you address this issue in a hardware load balanced, web farm?
We have a single URL (domain) (ex. http://reporting.xxxxxxx.com/Reports)
but each machine naturally maintains a unique IP that I'm assuming is being
used by each machine when setting the cookie. The web.config files have
matching <machinekey> values to allow for Forms Auth in a web farm but I
don't know how to control the domain of the cookie.
