Vince Skahan raises the admin issue about "domains of control" (a
Domain/OS term) under sr9.7.

The only approach I can identify is making the following tradeoff decision:

  a) if you need to run DOMAIN services (file access, crp -on, etc.) over
     the link or across a gateway, then both segments share a common view
     of user identity and must operate from a single registry database.

  b) If you need separate registries for network segments, then do NOT utilize
     domain routing services over the gateway, and instead route only
     tcp/ip packets across the gateway.  Interconnect between the networks
     would then be via telnet/rsh/ftp/nfs , as opposed to the Domain
     protocols.
