Hi,

Well, they don't need to be part of the same forest if you create  
simple trusts between the multiple AD's.
But if you have a Forest, this means you will have Transitive Trusts  
between the domains. Therefore you can authenticate in every domain  
(via ntlm_auth).

Just to emphasize the key requisite is Trusts between domains/forests  
and not that they need to be in the same forest.

Cheers,
