	I just got asked for reccomentations for a very-large, 
	few-domains smb service (continent-wide, for a well-known
	small continent), and strongly suspect that the
	hack might be absolutely necessary.

	The folks in .xx will need to authenticate when they
	happen to be in .yy, and they won't know to use xx\user-name

	[This also motivates my earlier question about why we
	aren't supposed to support interdomain trusts when we
	do!]

	Yes: I can expand if necessary, but what does the
	actual team think???
