I have created the home directories with the uid number given by wbinfo. 
So user steve2 has a home directory of /home/DOMAIN/steve2 300006:100

These uid:gid are respected when I export /home using nfs. I can see 
300006:users on the client too. Even so, as you say these numbers are 
not respected outside of the samba 4 - windows relationship.
