Volker,

Thanks a lot for showing the direction to achieve this task. I did lot
of research and code walk through, and your idea makes a lot of sense.
But I am unable to find out how do I change the WINBINDD_SOCKET_DIR
variable. As I understand it is a CFLAGS so do we need to compile
winbind with separate CFLAGS settings?
Please let us know

What you could do is run two winbinds separated with
"winbind socket dir" and other settings to virtualize
winbind. Then you could run two ntlm_auth instances, giving
each a separate WINBINDD_SOCKET_DIR environment variable.
The piece of code that is missing is: Who decides which
domain you need to talk to.
