[Samba] Linux multiple member server

[Robert Wooden]

So, one question at a time.

Best practice would be for all the member servers to be the same "ad" or
"rid" setting?

Second question. (You mentioned new to old.)

If moving data files *from* old ("ad") member server to new ("rid") member
server with ranges as you suggested would correct my strange ranges?
