Well, if you carefully read the first email, you'll see a precise 
question that asks for any special configuration to take in order to be 
able to run two instances of samba on the same box using a chroot. No 
question about "does this provide enhanced security", "is there any 
other option", "is my hardware high enough", "is it a good idea to let 
people work during a network outage", simply, "is it feasible/are there 
any caveat"

According to documentation, winbind offline logon is only used with 
pam_winbind, that why it has been left apart (moreover it won't be able 
to let users not in cache to access files and there is no doc about 
cache lifetime, size, etc.)
