Can we default to a trusted domain in IIS prompt?

I am trying to configure Windows Integrated Security on a SharePoint server
(Windows 2003 sp1) so that users do not have to enter a domain at the logon
prompt, but just a username. I was able to do this in a basic scenario when
the web server is in the same domain as the user's domain by setting the
default logon domain Metabase property.

But when I tried to do this in the case where the user is part of a trusted
domain rather than the server's domain, it did not work. Is there another
setting that I need to add/modify? Is this even possible in IIS 6.0?

Thanks,
Mary

I do not believe that is possible with only what is built into
IIS 6 for W2k3. Now, W2k3 R2 has added some Kerberos
support for IIS but I noticed that most of it one could not use
for (WSS) Sharepoint webs, and, I have not noticed whether
a "default domain" was added, but it surely was not there in
any of the earlier versions of IIS for Windows integrated auth.

That's what I suspected. Thanks!
