Multiple Samba Servers

[Dan Egli]

Ok. Here's what I would do to try and fix it:

Changes to  server #1:

Prefered Master = Yes
Domain Master = Yes
Local Master = Yes
OS Level = 64
WINS Support = Yes

Changes to Server #2:

Prefered Master = No
Domain Master = No
Local Master = Yes
OS Level = 34
Wins SERVER = <ip of server #1>
Password Server = <ip of server #1>
