Is it possible to have multiple Active Directory Domains in One IP Network?

I am part of a team (on the periphery) tasked with removing Novell products and moving to AD.
This has in itself all manner of issues - not the least - multiple groups/permissions - a lot of which either have no real meaning now, or may have great importance.

There is a suggestion to create two Active Directory "forests" one with all the inherited rubbish and one new clean.
Is this possible?
I do understand this is rather a simplistic overview, however.
And (for a newbie), what is the scenario and pit-falls?
i do understand that this is not a "solution" that will fit into one or two sentences.....

However if "there be dragons" - I will not take this further.

All information / assistance gratefully received.

This is unfortunate that while all contributors gave a lot of good advice. But I do not seem to be able to award points to more than one contributor.....which if I have missed - I apologise.
But did have a tool about to try to award point to many, but had to just pick one.

Everyone should have been awarded points.....

Thanks all, anyway. Thanks
