As I said in my previous reply... the prefix _does_not_ have to be the
NT domain, you could do something like "eng\stupid_eng",
"sales\droid1" or "worker\drone666". The cynic in me says that most
people will just click the stupid "save my password on this computer
in some stupid location" option in IE anyway so they will only deal
with the problem once ;-)

About all I can suggest if you are really determined is write a
wrapper script for the smb_auth that tries each DC in turn until one
says "OK" or you get to the end of the list.
