That'd be great, if it were possible to do it in a manner which made it
impossible for people to step on other people's toes.

The biggest thing is that there are a small handful of
documents---roughly 500 of them---that have a very high (near 1)
probability of being opened and edited at the same time in both offices.
Because the offices' duties overlap significantly, it has to be possible
to have the same sort of file locking semantics that a single Samba
server provides to a single office.

Yuck, yuck, and more yuck; things would be a _lot_ easier if both
offices were working in non-overlapping domains...
