I think that I may have joined after the original message for this thread so I am not sure of the use case.
Sounds like you may have a "disjoint namespace" meaning that you use a different DNS than Active Directory for your non-windows systems (like Linux). Our DirectControl product seamlessly works in this type environment such that you can join AD with a different "alias" than the hostname. Single sign on with AD still works, you don't need to change the hostname and we have a raft of other features as well. Just an FYI.
