sure. the IOUs on the back are basically slip down the middle. you can assign it to each domain. however, you need to realize that the dvd media tray is tied only to 1 domain. if you are making a 2 domain system, you can build from dvd on one and will then need to build from network on the other. however, you can get around this by attached an external scsi drive to the back of a scsi adapter (if you have one). for instance, my shop used an extra d240 to get around the dvd being only tied to 1 domain.

as for xscf commands... its pretty straight forward. if you are comfortable using the sc of say a 6900, you'll be fine here as well. i would give the xscf its own ip on its own non-routable network.
