It works just fine at UQ, using an AFM cache. We have NFS-only at the 'home' 
but we have thousands of filesets coming out of NFS and SMB on our cache. Not, 
technically, a preferred configuration to have that many of them, but it's 
possible.

Consistent mapping won't work without RFC2307bis attributes being
populated as far as I am aware. Windows knows nothing about the
idmap_rid, it only knows about SID's

Mixing NFS and Samba out the same file system or at the very least the
same directory hierarchy is a mugs game. There in lies a gigantic pit of
woe for all those foolish enough to try based on personal experience.
