samba - May 2003 - SAMBA and multiple Windows NT and Active Directory Domains

To whom it may concern,
I had originally sent the message below over a week ago.  I haven't
rec'd
any response other than that Trevor Rickards is on vacation until May 2.
Below is what I sent on April 23....

I've been investigating a problem configuring SAMBA 2.0.7 on Solaris 
servers properly.
My basic questions boil down to:

*  Does 2.0.7 support authentication against *multiple* domain 
controllers?
    In the Server.conf file we see line items: 
    [global] 
   netbios name = SAMBA 
   workgroup = NT_DOMAIN 
   password server = NT_PDC, NT_BDC_1, NT_BDC_2 
   security = domain
   To me, this indicates that 2.0.7 can only authenticate against a single 
domain and the password server line is where the Primary Domain controller and
any Backup Domain
Controllers can be listed.
   Is this correct?  There's been a bit of confusion over allowing 
multiple server names being listed on the password server line being an 
indication that 2.0.7 can support authentication against multiple domains.
   Can you point me to any documentation making this clear?

*  Which version does support authentication against *multiple* NT 
domains?
     I have heard that 2.2 does indeed support authentication against 
multiple domains.  I haven't been able to find any SAMBA documentation to 
confirm or deny this.
     Can you help me out?

Thank you,
~Steve
