Lots of sites do not work with a single domain at this point; instead, they have "forest" of domains organized into a hierarchy.

That's not right. In Active Directory, a hierarchy of domains is called a 'tree'. A 'forest' contains multiple trees without a common root. This allows, for example, foo.com and bar.com to merge and integrate their ADs without renaming anything immediately.
