No, the idea is that one SAM backend would know about only one domain, but that we could have multiple domains, each with their own backend. For smbd it doesn't make much sense, except that I was looking at handling 'builtin' stuff by abstraction into a separate 'domain' this way. (I favor putting special cases into modules, rather than in interfaces). The other cases for 'multiple domain' support involve the way these users are reflected back into unix by winbindd, which might be running on a system that has multiple, independent smbd instances on separate IPs. In any case, the syntax will need to get much clearer if this is to stay around for long. (idra seems determined to kill it).
