It wouldn't matter if there were 222 Unix domain members, as long as you
use exactly the same smb.conf on all of them, you will get the same
ID's on all of them (hint, do not set 'netbios name' in any of them).

I know most examples show setting the '*' domain above the 'DOMAIN',
but there is a problem with this, what happens when you get to (in your
case) user 50001 ??
