Or you can use different group names with the same gid and everything will work fine. This is what we do. ;) We use NIS for everything.
No, you can't. Been there, done that; it won't work for everything, and you will eventually run into NIS trouble (see other message).
The best thing to do is live with the 16 group limit until a new standard version of NFS supports access lists, or wait for LDAP to become more widely adopted. I think it *is* on Netapp's agenda, but most vendors are slow to adopt it.
