Are you saying that there is an LDAP query you can use to retrieve the UID/GID of a user/group that is known via an AD trust as long as the filter is correct?  I ran into this same situation (with a storage appliance) and thought that the problem was that the UIDs/GIDs were calculated but never stored, but I hadn't stopped to think about how whether sssd (on the local machine) retrieves them from FreeIPA or does the calculation.
