Two good uses of domains:
to get different default management classes for different nodes
to delegate policy administration to different administrators for
different nodes.

IMHO, domains are just there for your use in any sort of logical
separation
you wish to perform...
We use them to differ between UNIX-SAP, UNIX-non-SAP, NT, DOMINO, LNOTES,
ADSM (other adsm servers), etc...
That has fit our needs...
If you have different service levels for the different clients, you may
want
to use different domains to represent the different service levels...(hot,
warm, cold; gold, silver, bronze; daily, weekly, monthly; etc...)

This is one reason why I like TSM so much, you may customize it to fit
your
needs.
it provides for virtually unlimited means to isolate/model/manage your
clients...
