We have two servers, one is windows 2000 server and the other is windows
2003 (xp) server. There are computers located in two different work area
rooms. One possibility is to have two domains, one for each work-area. Then,
this would presumably just mean running dcpromo to set up active directory,
for both server computers. I'd assume these would both be 'domain controller
for a new domain' (not using the "additional controller" option) and, both
would be "domain in a new forest", but would be differentiated because
they'd have different dns (and netbios) names. Then there'd be two dns
servers (for the two server computers each having their own domain). All the
computers in both rooms are connected to the same hub and to a single
router. Each domain would thus have its own separate file and log (since
they're on separate computer servers). Does this sound correct (having two
domains as such as domains in new forests etc)?

Also then the computers themselves would have to list both the servers IPs
in their dns alternatives as well as the external dns address?
