merge replication and domains

Does SQL2K needs the publisher and subscriber to be in same domain?
Can we configure merge replication between two stand-alone servers?
it does not, you can replicate from two stand alone server. What you should
do is create a local administrator account with the same name and password
on both servers and use this account for the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent
accounts.
