Some caveats:

 - NFSv3 does not support references to Windows users/groups that aren't
   mapped to equivalent Unix users/groups.

 - NFSv4 and SMB, on Solaris Express / Nevada / OpenSolaris, do, but
   when it comes to NFSv4 it also matters whether both, the client and
   server can do it.

 - So if you must use NFSv3, or if you must use NFSv4 clients other than
   Solaris Express or Windows-based NFSv4 clients, then you need to
   consider name-based mapping rules or directory-based mapping.

You already indicated that you have equivalent Unix entities with the
same exact names for all the relevant Windows entities, so all you need
is the name-based mapping rule that you said you already created, and
mixing NFSv3 and SMB should work just fine for you.

Making sure that you had the same names on both sides shows good
planning on your part.  Congratulations :)

(IIRC there are still some issues with file locking + mixed protocol
access, but I'll let someone else address that.)
