There seem to be three options:
1. Set up trusts between the two domains.
2. Set up duplicated accounts/passwords across the two domains.
This is a lot of work, and you may dioscover accounts by the same
name in the different domains already, belonging to different users.
3. Reconfigure everything as a single domain; you can reduce the
trans-Atlantic traffic by having at least one BDC in NY. But this
means not only resolving account-name collisions, but also machine-
name collisions too.
On the whole, trusts look like the way to go.
