How to Move an Organizational Unit Structure to Multiple Domains
Google Apps allows you to create organizational unit structures under one domain or several. Your main organization will always be the main domain name on your Apps account, but you can assign multiple domain names to the account as sub-domains. You can also create one or more organizational structures. The organizational structures can be assigned to users based on what domains and what apps you want individual users to be able to access.
