[Samba] how to manage 3000 Samba Connection

[updatemyself .]

In my Network i have Only One Domain (Win2003)
and all the windows client is accessing the samba share with out further
authentication..

to run the project smoothly.. i need all this as one domain.. the file
permission and all happening through
only windows.. all the volume's owner is "sysadmin" as that user.. i am
managing the
access control.. (security is also important for me)


i know abt HA (heartbeat 2) and i used for fail over..
my main target is.. load balance.... till i have 6 servers.. as file
server.. fail over is only 2nd thing
what u try to explain is not much clear for me..
if u r able to point some document.. it will be a grate thing..

Thanks a lot.. dude...

i respect ur time also..
