Yes, it runs on a freshly deployed physical machine in a new lxc container.

I am building up a completely new environment. I am using common Ansible 
code (roles and playbooks) but an inventory per environment. The only 
differences are names, networks etc. and of course upgrade history for 
the existing environments.

The interesting observation is that my other domains are 15 - 40 months 
old but apart from that exactly the same (as far as I can see) and they 
behave very different in this id lookup on the dc.

Rowland just mentioned the winbind cache (how can I check its content?), 
that is certainly something which is different. Also the content of 
idmap.ldb is much much bigger on the older domains.
