I don’t believe this is an uncommon solution, 
 Frankly I never saw this. Personally I'd consider this to be rather uncommon.

Your mileage may vary

and it has worked fine for many years. 
Your systems really handled full group lookups by GID correctly? How? Ciao, 
Michael.

Lookup by GID would likely return the most recently cached group with that GID 
(though that isn't the case with SSSD strangely). So a manual lookup by GID to 
find a user might not return the right result, but it doesn't appear to be how 
things work for most system utilities (groups, id etc.). 

I'm really looking for some assistance on this thread. I'm aware that opinions 
may vary, but the bottom line is that we are seeing errors and lookup failures 
that didn't happen before SSSD was inserted in front of LDAP. And the failures 
do not happen consistently. 

Also if having duplicate GIDs in the cache is an error, how did they get there 
in the first place? Clearly things are not working the way they should.
