Hi Jerry,

No, we only have 1 IDL file, there's no relation between numbers of
child dispatch tables and idl interfaces.

But not each child will response to each function, so the e.g. domain
child will directly return with an error or panic if it gets a
WINBINDD_DSGETDCNAME request, as that means the programmer gets
something wrong in the parent code, as this request should never reach a
domain child. And if a domain child would go into the
WINBINDD_DSGETDCNAME codepath, it's likely that it will crash or
something strange anyway, but this would be happen randomly and it's
hard to debug, so I think it's better to just give an "not implemented"
error or something like this.
