Multiple password servers/domains

[Johnston, Paul]

Hi all,
  I've just installed the new version 1.9.18p7 on a Solaris 2.6 box.  We
have multiple domains in our organization with trust relationships
(Domain authentication is handled by Windows NT servers).  I would like
to be able to have multiple servers listed as password servers.  If the
server authentication fails on the first server, it would try the next.
With this, I could have many different domain users attach to the samba
shares.  This would also allow failover in case my primary password
server down.

I'm looking for something like this (is it possible..maybe another
way?):
----begin smb.conf----
security = server
password server = ntserver1 ntserver2
----end smb.conf----
 
  I have been able to allow multiple server authentication in different
domains, but running different configurations based on what the machine
is called when attempting to mount (unfortunately, this is confusing to
the end users).  In the example below, I use password server ntserver1
if mounting \\unix1\myshare.  To use password server ntserver2, you
would mount \\unix2\myshare.  I'm pretty sure that the workgroups are
not needed for this to work.

----begin smb.conf----
secuity = server
include = /samba/lib/smb.conf.%L

[myshare]
path = /shares/myshare
----end smb.conf----

----begin smb.conf.unix1----
password server = ntserver1
workgroup = group1
----end smb.conf.unix1----

----begin smb.conf.unix2----
password server = ntserver2
workgroup = group2
----end smb.conf.unix2----

Comments, thoughts, ideas, let me know.

Thanks,
