Yes this is correct. I'm not sure why there are two domains. I'm not
working at the central computer center, but i'm sure, they have their
reasons why they are doing it this way. We are only using this
infrastructure. The LDAP is storing much more information than only
simple posixAccounts. It might be, that an AD is not so flexible if you
want to store more than the standard attributes. But i don't now in
detail as i am not so familiar with windows ad services.
