Multiple names for a single domain?

[Guest]

We are in the process of re-architecting our domain structure and moving
from a Unix based directory to Windows2003 AD. In the process we are also
considering changing our domain name and email/web presence. We were
wondering if it's possible to have a single domain with two names. I know
we can easily have multiple email/web domains, but how about having two
names for a single domain?

IE: olddomain.com and newdomain.com are actually a single domain that
users exist in, but a user can login using user@olddomain.com or
user@newdomain.com and have the same account.

If this is possible, does anyone know or resources I can access to tell me
how? Any ideas on the long-term supportability of this scenario? (<1 year
vs >1year)

Thanks!
Doug

I've honestly never heard of logically multihoming a domain
but I don't think it's possible. Perhaps you can describe
why you need this functionality and someone may be able
to suggest an alternative.
