on a separate fileserver. DC's are 4.2.4, fileserver 4.1.17.

Doesn't matter: we have never had any issues with this setup, works from 
whatever client we use. (windows doman logons, smbclient, cifs mount, 
etc, etc)

ADUC. And yes: we are using rfc2307.

Yep. As long as the linux clients use cifs to mount the share, obviously.
