I probably exaggerated a bit in my original post - there are a lot of pitfalls and things to work out, which maybe I didn't feel as acutely as others might. That's because, before I started, I'd located two invaluable guides that provided much of the know-how in the planning stage: nonadmin.editme.com and Aaron Margosis's blog on MSDN. Having a good resource makes all the difference.
