 having separate MSAs for roaming users vs. fixed users seems like poor
 design.  it's another set of MSAs to maintain, another set of
 instructions to provide, another configuration detail users have
 to get right, another source of calls to tech support. I don't know
 why we should encourage it.

I can see a set-up where MSA.Domain resolves via the local DNS when connected to DOMAIN's LAN Network (ie: When the user is getting connectivity from that ISP) while the Internet Facing DNS Servers supply a separate MSA Server Farm address. Which MSA Server Farm you connect to is dependent on what Connectivity you currently have and the selection is automatic without the user needing to alter the MUA Parms.
