That could be tricky. I've built Samba 3 with kerberos and ldap and
the various components needs for ADS but it is decidedly non-trivial.
However, you don't need to use 'security = ads' to participate. You
can use just 'security = domain' which would be a plain vanilla
build. We have several servers participating in an ADS network with
'security=domain'. You would then be able to pass authentication
through to the Windows domain controllers.

Not sure what you mean here. Do you mean you want to separate Samba
installs on the same box? If so, you would need at least two network
interfaces. You can't run two instances of Samba on the same
interface/IP address.
I hope this helps.
