domain

I have an intranet site using Windows Authentication. When users are prompted for credentials, they enter:

User: domain\username
Pass: SomePassword

It'd be nice if they could leave off the domain\ part which would be filled in with a default domain. I'm willing to give up the ability to login with a server/machine account (non-domain) because we don't use that anyway.

This seems to be possible with BasicAuth but I can't seem to find a reference for how to do it with WindowsAuth.
