samba - Apr 2006 - does samba support multiple domains?crucial issue for ISP company

Hi samba users, 
we are an ISP companies running proxy, so the domains we need to work on are
large amount, keeping increasing, and moreover belonging to different companies.
so whether samba supports multiple domains is an important issue for us to
decide whether to adopt samba with proxy. i googled online and found some notion
that samba doesnt support multiple domains unless multiple instances of samba
are installed. is it true? pls kindly advise. thanks a lot in advance.

Regards, 
Pang

Assuming you want winbind to authenticate for squid using
ntlm, then the only way is to install a new domain that
trusts all the other domains. This can then be either a
real windows domain that your proxies are member of or you
install samba as a domain controller and have winbind look
for the DC's it trusts itself.
