Officially, not supported. Realistically, works fine, with the usual
limitations of Hyper-V VMs. (No USB, no tape, and no FAX). If you expect
that second domain to actually connect to the internet, you'll need to have
a dedicated NIC for that subnet. Otherwise, if it's only to maintain a
running SBS 2k3, with no real connection, then you can use an internal
network that only other virtualized machines and the host can see.
