I completely agree with trying to keep everything in one domain. In this case we actually have to have a second domain. They want to be set up as a second domain in the same forest. We want to set them up as a child domain. The problem is we are having trouble finding documentation to support either or. The reason they want a second domain is because they want to maintain the internet namespace internally (company.co.uk).
