Here's the scenario

Forest trust between ForestA and ForestB.
ForestA has two domains DomA1 (placeholder root) and DomA2
ForestB has one domain DomB

Users from DomA2 sometimes log into DomB member machines.  DomA2 is
not shown in the drop-down list of domain names in the login dialog.
DomA1 is shown.

Users from DomB sometimes log into DomA2 member machines.  DomB is
not shown in the drop-down list of domain names ni the login dialog.

Is it normal behaviour for the drop-down list not to show all the
domains with trusts (including those that are transitive via the
forest trust)?  If so, is there any way to change the behaviour?

The users can obviously login using UPN, but they are not used to
doing this and there is talk of putting in an explicit domain trust
between DomA2 and DomB simply to get around this.  Ugh.
