I've thought pretty hard about using company.com for external, and company.net for internal, and owning both domain names - I think that's pretty elegant, if possible. I understand that M&A happens, but I would think at that point forest/domain trusts would be implemented, and a migration of machines during a plan. How does using a nonsense forest/domain name help with that process? Serious question - I might be facing something like that soonish. Kurt
