Title: [ActiveDir] Trusting Domain SIDs

yep, done it several times this way - at least for the users. Depending on how your machines need to talk to the internal servers, you might not even need to setup a trust. But if you don't get around it, you could still limit it's reach using selective authentication.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Extranet's

We are looking at redesigning our extranet and are considering a separate forest for the extranet users and eventually most of the resources needed for the extranet will be put into that forest. My thinking is that since a domain isn't a true security boundary and it really won't cost us more to bring up a forest vs. domain why not go with a separate forest. The users in the extranet forest won't necessarily need access to the internal systems but some of the machines will need to talk to internal servers so I assume at some point we will need a trust relationship.  My question is simply what am I missing and has anyone done similar setups?
