This looks fine.

No.  There is no need (practically) for the IDs to match.  It should work
fine without it.

Oh, one other question:  What is the local cell, as listed in
/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell?  Is that correct, and is it what your
servers think they are (/usr/afs/etc/ThisCell)?  Similarly,
are the right DB servers listed in /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB?
