I've pinged Charles to let him know about these threads.

Since we're in the mode of defining things, what is a "multi-domain notion?"  I see it as a an ability to manage within the same tool multiple sets of servers where each set has it's own management policy. The sets of servers are conceptually distinct (hence the separate management policy / domain) but, generally for operational ease of use reasons, users wish to manage multiple domains from the same tool.

The "server-group" notion is the collection of unclustered servers. So in the simple case of a domain that's a collection of a homogenous set of unclustered servers, we'd just be requiring a bit more XML.

I can see having a capability to deploy to a domain as a convenience, but it can get conceptually messy.

Agreed, but not sure what you were getting at here. Were we mixing them?
