switching between 2 domains daily

Our company has split and we now have 2 domain controllers/file servers. All
servers and clients share the same subnet 192.168.0.XXX, configured with
static IP. Upper management wants to be able to join either domain easily
with their client machines. As Administrator, I can change domains with the
Network ID wizard (or manually) as things are, but I would like to have users
be able to easily choose either domain at logon, as some users will want to
join either domain on a daily basis. On a XP Pro test system I find that at
logon my only choices are local computer or the last domain joined. Is there
a way to have both domains available as a choice at logon, or other simple
way for users to choose their domain?

You can specify the domain you want to use in the username. This
overrides the option in the domain box. eg (E-Mail Removed)l . This
allows the user to authenticate to the selected domain. But the machine (as
opposed to the user) cannot be joined to more than one domain.

Have you considered setting up a domain trust, so that users validated
on one domain can access resources in the other?
