Is it possible to have multiple domains and all of them authenticate to

Each building at work has a network segment, 10.8.1.x - 10.8.18.x, each
having their own samba server using smbpasswd and DOMAIN name. Like the
server arrowhead 10.8.9.2 has domain = HPADMIN in smb.conf, server
archives 10.8.8.2 has domain = OLDCAPITOL in smb.conf, roark 10.8.2.3
has domain = ADMIN in smb.conf.
I'd like to replace all of these smbpasswd backends with a single LDAP
server and am reading Samba 3 by Example. Would it be possible to have
each server keep its seperate DOMAIN = configuration, but have them all
use the PDC of roark for authentication on its OpenLDAP configuration?
You can't use a single PDC, but you can have all your inidividual PDCs
use the same LDAP server as a backend -- you just reconfigure each of
the existing domain controllers with its own base distinguished name
within the LDAP server... e.g.:
dc=hpadmin,dc=your,dc=domain
dc=oldcapitol,dc=your,dc=domain
dc=admin,dc=your,dc=domain
Migrating the accounts from the local smbpasswd to LDAP is left as an
exercise for the sysadmin :-) but as long as you give each domain its
own branch in your LDAP database, you should not run into problems.
