Mac OS Server – simultaneously authenticate to two AD forests?

[silverbadger]

I’ve got what will probably be a once-in-a-career problem:

We’re migrating from one AD domain to another as we are merged into our parent company. The one sticking point so far is that we can not migrate everyone at once with the resources we have, and we have one Mac file server that is presenting us with a difficult task:

How can we get a Mac server to authenticate against two different directory trees?

I’ve tried binding a test box to one domain and configuring LDAP for the other, but haven’t yet had any luck getting a vanilla LDAP connection to work against a 2003 or 2008 Windows Server AD controller.

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!!!
