[Samba] Can a Samba server join multiple NT domain?

[Emmanuel Willems]

A single Samba set-up can be part of two domains, but it is possible to have to samba instances on the same server under certain circumstances (dual ip addresses, compile each samba separately, etc.). 
I have a set-up where a Linux box is part of NT4 domain and of Win2K3 ADS domain. works like a charm.

The only problem is libnss_winbind . Can't have two of those unless changing at least some part of the source code and I'm still looking for help on that one. Anybody?
