This is 3rd-party documentation. Just a blog article, but not bad.

I have several branches in my OID arc (my private enterprise number).
One of the branches is dedicated for public use e.g. in I-Ds.

So simply ask the author of the blog article whether he's ever reusing
the above mentioned OID.

Another option is to use this object class from the Samba schema:

( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.2.2.7
  NAME 'sambaUnixIdPool'
  DESC 'Pool for allocating UNIX uids/gids'
  SUP top AUXILIARY
  MUST ( uidNumber $ gidNumber ) )

Ciao, Michael.
