  The short answer there is to fix AD so that it looks users up in the right domain... it should be able to do this.

  A better question is what is the "correct" AD domain?  How do you know which user is in which domain?

  i.e. can *FreeRADIUS* tell which user is in which domain?

  If so, the configuration should be simple.  If not, it gets a lot more complex.
