Windows Auth + FBA

I have been working to implement Forms auth and Wndows AD together on the same web application for the last few days. I am pretty happy with the results (extending the app, creating an extranet zone etc.) but saw this great article and thought it would help a lot of you out (like Scot!). Here's a quick blurb:

"This method uses forms authentication on a SharePoint web application to authenticate users against both SQL Server and Active Directory. Not only will this hybrid provider be able to manage users across the two most prevalent user data stores in Windows, but it can also be scaled out to support other .NET membership providers, as well as run custom code to query into any source of user information."

Thanks go out to Christopher V Domino for the great article!
