Strangely enough, a few minutes after I got this email, our vaunted FTP
server, which has functioned for over 5 years, had a major crash, and
had to restore from backup.
So there is something to be said for using Direct AD LDAP, with it's
crude load balancing.

P.S. IIRC, there is a CLI command to set the "default domain" for an
FTP server. With IIS, this is in the GUI. Both of these will obviate
the need to enter a domain. I believe MS discourages this for security
reasons, but they don't make it impossible. BUT, again, why when there
is a perfectly good alternative???
