Setting up multiple domains is certainly possible - a chroot() works
best, but you can get away with different prefixes, and different
interfaces to bind to.

As to Exchange, it's unknown to what state we are at with intergration -
it's known that Samba-TNG has had some success, but I've not done
anything on it myself.  

You may need to have exchange in it's own domain, trusting Samba's
domains.  Domain trusts will be a feature of Samba 3.0, and being
'trusted' is supported in CVS/beta1 already.
