I am wondering if anybody in the group has had a module that they have used that does a single sign-on across multiple domains on multiple servers. Not expecting the hard lifting to be done by others; just a point in the right direction.

I haven't used this yet
I haven't used this yet myself, but wonder if the Domain Access Module does what you are looking to do: http://drupal.org/project/domain

Domains
The key rub I have is that I am trying to do this across mulitple servers and it does not really appear that domain access is quite the right match as it appears to be either trying to setup another domain or so.
Just share the tables.
I have a multisite set-up and use a single sign on. You just share the tables. It works perfectly.
Are you on the same server...
or on multiple servers?
multiple servers
I am not on multiple servers. I would think that you could add the other $db_url and when you put the $db_prefix array in, just add the other table.
If you use the Single Sign On
If you use the Single Sign On module, the suggested implementation is to create a master or "controller" login site, and then all other sites are slaves or "clients". So perhaps you could create a master site that is only used for login, such as login.example.com, and then implement SSO as instructed?
I'm wondering if there's some inherent security risk with sharing cookies on multiple servers...
