	Hello,

Concerning the upcoming 2.2.3 release of Samba with LDAP support.

Question 1:

Is it possible that you define multiple ldap servers in the option "ldap 
server ="?
In the event that one LDAP server is down, the next LDAP server defined can 
take over.
If not, no authentication is possible if the LDAP server is not available?

Question 2:

Is there any fallback possible to a local password file even with using 
LDAP so that when the LDAP server is down you can still authenticate 
against a local password database?
