Are there any performance issues with having lots of views?
The number of views does not matter much because each host will only use
the view assigned to it.
But you only need multiple views if a single user currently has
different UIDs on different clients.

I’d like to get users from IPA when there isn’t an entry in /etc/passwd, so that ls -l on
the Netapp can interpret user names.
