A 'resource domain' is a 'normal' domain that happens to contain (mainly)
computer accounts, not user accounts..
eg. A company with 6 offices might have all the user accounts in the
<companyname> domain, and the computers for each site in the <sitename>
resource domain.
The resource domains would obviously all have to trust the <companyname>
domain.

What is the reason for splitting user and computer accounts into different
domains?

The resource domain was used in NT. NT had a limit of 40,000 or 40MB per
domain so it was almost a given you would have more than one domain. 2000
can hold unlimited objects per domain (up to 1 million recommended) and
therefore doesn't need to split into multiple domains. You probably won't
see it in a 2000 network unless there are some NT admins who don't really
know what's new in 2K.
