Multi address + multi domain = problems
A heads up for anyone thinking to connect multiple domains to one PC or server with multiple IP addresses.

I remember serious problems cause by a multiple addressed PCs or server being connected to several NT domains on several IP subnets. Responses to Network discovery requests are not necessarily sent out on the Interface they were received on. Win NT and Win2K randomly picks an interface (the least busy one I believe). This can lead to election mechanisms of master and slave "browsers" going really haywire with NT/ W2K networks intermittently shutting down.

I have no idea if Win XP resolved that with ADS, but remember that Microsoft had no workable solution after many weeks and months of support calls.
