Try reassigning IP addresses to 200 PCs.  Or 2000.  Remember, each PC at
least on my LAN MUST have a registered name, they are not referenced by
IP
address, so your DNS config has to be updated as well.
It's going to take you a LOT longer than two minutes to do that, starting
with writing that Perl script. 

Not so long ;).. i bet i can do in 2 minutes ;)
 
Ok, i was incorrect. It will fail in heterogenous world, _except_ things
that do have MS-aware hooks on it. I think it's better don't rely on
MS hooks and just to use standard technologies.
 
Define "standard technologies" as regards to OS logon validation.  Doesn't
everyone has their own standards concerning security mechanisms and their
implementation?

I'd prefer to see something OS-independant. 

NT provides a mechanism that allows you to logon to a domain of servers and
PCs, and not just one server at a time.  Why shouldn't I take advantage of
this?

a) just because you can't rely on security of PC you try to use for
network access. b) because it works only if _every_ machine in
your network can speak M$ that is not always possible.

If you _can_ rely on any PC security and _every_ machine on the net 
speaks M$.. then security issues with M$ proxy itself start to appear ;)
