Configure IIS so users from multiple domains don't have to specify a domain

Thanks for the response, but what you've described isn't
what I'm looking for. I'd like to have IIS automatically
attempt to validate the user against DOMAIN1, DOMAIN2,
DOMAIN3 etc. so that the user dosesn't have to specify
the domain and a backslash before their username when
logging on to the website. I don't want IIS to use just
a single Default Domain, I want it to attempt to validate
the user against all the trusted domains on the network.
The users don't like having to specify their domain when
logging on to the web site.

Thanks,

Kevin
