| smbd -V = Version 3.0.9-1

The failover happens for new connections where
trhe first server in the list cannot be contacted.
Not for existing connections.

| [global]
| workgroup = WinDomain
| netbios aliases = servername0
| security = server

security = server is deprecated (just so you know).
Use security = domain instead.
