There are several ways to specify multiple ldap servers.

passdb backend = ldapsam://ldapserver1 ldapsam://ldapserver2

should work as failover solution - when ldap1 is down, ldap2 should be 
tried.
But i found than failed ldap1 do not make smbd to use ldap2 in my 
installation.
I have reported this problem here, but got no answer.
