If the user is found in the first domain, the result is returned. If it
is not found, the second domain is queried etc.

To query a user from the second domain directly, you'd have to use a
fully qualified name - getent passwd user@domain2

In theory yes, but you'd lose the IPA specific functions such as HBAC or
SELinux user mappings. Also for example the paths to Kerberos ccaches are
stored in the sssd cache too, so your users would get a different ccache
on this "failover".

Are there any issues you are seeing with IPA's sssd_be? It would
definitely be better to fix those first rather than attempting a
workaround like this.
