Well, giving the impression that this is the case is one of the reasons
UPNs exist -- for example, you could set all users' UPN suffix to that
of the forest root (or some other arbitrary domain) and they can logon
as [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (!) even though mba2000's real
domain might be win.ioplex.com and mine xad.ioplex.com. :-)
