In short - any system where multiple Samba instances have read-write
access to the data must also have a shared locking implementation.
Currently, Samba3 does not provide such facilities, but developers of
distributed file-systems could work with Samba4 in an attempt to provide
this.

I know VL has done some stuff with AFS as a distributed file-systems on
Samba3, but I'm not completely sure how it works.

Your other option is to have each Samba server handle a particular part
of the filesystem tree, and use MSDFS to show a single logical server.
