Thanks Dave,
For now I've made the alternate domain the primary name which was easily
accomplished in IMAIL using Sql7. I have to move the other domain and I
thought this would have been a good solution but I'll find another for now.
At some point I'll set up another test to see if the login problems were
real or dns related.

Terry, when you tell us the actual domain names we can tell you whether
your DNS records will do what you want.
