[Samba] Samba using Virtual Servers (load balancing)

[Leroy van Logchem]

Hello fellow samba users,

Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on
two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10
Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there
any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster
doing samba?

A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind:

Users (+/- 500)
|||
Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2)
|
Worknode - Worknode - Worknode ...
|
Large RAID5 NAS boxes (NFS only)

Thanks for any information/pointers in the right direction.
(all directions are open: lvs,mosix,<???>)
