sounds like an excuse to not setup share permissions and other things =
correctly within a shared domain.  =46rom a management perspective, I =
could see this being a huge pain.  I would recommend having them =
consolidate the domain into one and having someone help them with =
permissions and object security within the domain.  Could they not =
utilize ACLs and VLANs on switches to provide the level of security =
they=92re trying to use the firewall for?

Thank you,
Will
