Authenticating Against a Trusted Domain

Yes, "anotherdomain" is an AD domain, however, my
freeradius server can only talk to "ourdomain". 
ourdomain has a trust with anotherdomain and can pass
windows authentication (file shares, etc.) over the
trust for authentication.

Is it possible to authenticate "anotherdomain" users
via LDAP from the freeradius server by piping the auth
requests through "mydomain" (which should then, as
windows does, recognize the domain from
"anotherdomain\username" and send the auth request up
the trust)?

I'm obviously formulating the wrong LDAP queries. But
if this isn't even possible I won't bother spinning in
circles.
