I suppose in that case I'd prefer to name the file "domains_COMPANYNAME"
or something, to avoid confusion with domains that are local to the
server. Perhaps a matter of personal opinion, though.

It should work if the FQDN is the FQDN of server B. It shouldn't work if
the FQDN is the FQDN of server A (which was the case in your config
snippet).

The default includes all local users of the machine, which probably is
not what you want, considering the machine's purpose.
