Advice on Samba Failover Solutions

[Bowen, Paul]

Hi Folks,
We are pointing User PC Login Scripts to various samba servers depending
on the subnet their unix home directory is on.

Is there some mechanism, maybe involving listing samba servers in a nis
automount map, to get the users to seemless fall over to the next samba
server 
In the advent their local samba servers goes down or unplugged

If you have 3 samba servers, with identical smb.conf files
Server1  - 10.41.10.10; Server2 - 10.42.10.10;   Server3 - 10.43.10.10

What needs to be done, to create a common name to allow users to map a
network drive to
            \\common_name\Share

Can the 3 Servers have the same "netbios alias"  in smb.conf, and point
all machines to that \\netbios_alias\share 

Any tips or any advice on this would be great. 
Regards,
Paul <<smb.conf>>
