+Given that Samba-3 has the capability to function with a scalable backend authentication
+database such as LDAP, and given it's ability to run in Primary as well as Backup Domain control

+Interdomain trusts simplt because by the very nature of how this works it is fragile.
+That was after all a key reason for the development and adoption of Microsoft Active Directory.
