Steve,

The problem you point out is occurring only because of the strange
"domain hijacking" that PALS does.  This made sense for the member
meeting trials, where we were offering service to all attendees,
regardless of home institution, but I can't see how it would make
sense in a campus setting.  If you take PALS out of the picture and
look only at domain and sub-domain interaction, is there an
interdomain problem?
