	I've been fiddling with this to serve our two current domains
('Academic' and 'Admin') while we migrate to a single-domain system. It
works pretty good- Just make sure you have separate 'private'
directories, otherwise machine SID's and whatnot get clobbered and
things turn bad... It still doesn't work quite right, but it is doable. 
	Two IP addresses is a must, IMHO. I had it sorta working with only one,
but some clients wouldn't recognize the server as a DC... Two IPs took
care of that.
