we have a winbindd_domain* that stores the last NTSTATUS returned.
If the server is down, then this can just be set to 
NT_STATUS_SERVER_DISABLED.  We can just modify the ads code to store 
NT_STATUS_SERVER_DISABLED in the domain structure instead of relying on 
the sequence number being set to DOM_SEQUENCE_NONE.  That's trivial.

However, there is no place that checks for a return code of 
NT_STATUS_SERVER_DISABLED.  So I really fail to see the difference
in returning NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED or NT_STATUS_SERVER_DISABLED.

Have you run the new code?  Or are you just asking theoretical questions?
The code was effectively a rename of the uni_group cache + storing
return codes in the winbindd_domain* structure.  Give me a specific
thing that broke and I'll fix it.

Again, do you have a specific comment?  Or just a be careful?
