Ok this is more or less what I had in mind, only you have to consider
that you may have different ranges for different modules so in the end
it does not make sense to me to split it completely out.

They are 2 separate functions of the modules.

The workflow I have in mind is this:


WINBINDD ----(SID->UID?)-----> IDMAP

  IDMAP-->CACHE(fail)--[choose domain]--->BACKEND (based on the SID).

  if BACKEND fails:

     IDMAP--->[lookup sid]

     if SID valid

        IDMAP---(allocate new ID)--->BACKEND (based on the SID).

        if BACKEND fails:

           IDMAP----(Sorry not possible)--->WINBINDD

        else

           IDMAP---(set mapping SID/ID)--->BACKEND

           IDMAP---(this is the ID)------->WINBIND


Simo.
