Is a VTP domain the same as a network domain?

Can I have more than one VTP domain within a network domain? And even if I can, is it practical?

Also, can a VTP domain have more than one VTP server?

There can be multiple VTP domains within a network but each switch can only belong to a single VTP domain. Having multiple VTP domains within your single network would mean you have some switches advertising VLAN information amongst each other while the other switches do not get these advertisements (or rather do not process them since they belong to another VTP domain). So if you make a chance to your VLAN configurations on domain A, domain B will not get these changes- you would have to manually make those changes on domain B.

You can have as many VTP servers on your VTP domain as you would like- VTP servers and VTP clients behave similarly except for the fact that clients cannot create/modify VLANs. If you hypothetically make all switches VTP servers and make a change on one of them in regard to VLANs, it would get propagated to the rest in the same way as if they were clients.
