those things are pretty regular here:

1) where to put computer accounts ?

2) wtf is going on when re-sharing nfs over samba ?

maybe ....

1) even have no idea what to do :-) FAQ maybe ?

2) can it be auto-detected by samba that it is NFS ? and complain loudly in that case ?

Is this correct or should they both read the same way - perhaps
ou=Computers ?

The problem is not LDAP or Samba. What you must accomodate is how through NSS you will resolve computer accounts to a UID. Since the only mechanism for looking up accounts is through the "passwd" facility this means that LDAP lookups must be made from a point in the LDAP directory tree that lies above both the ou=People and the ou=Computers. The alternative is to put the computer accounts in the ou=People container - this avoids the complexity as well as the huge performance hit of having to search two directory trees.
