Sassy, samba 3.x does support using rfc2307 against AD domain
controllers, what zeropoint is asking is something completely different.

Zeropoint, no what you ask cannot be done at this moment, and it would
lead to potential conflicts as your samba server may allocate ids later
on introduced in AD.
Although annoying it is certianly better to put all eggs in one basked
and add the posix attributes to all windows accounts that need to access
your samba server.

Simo.
