I am busy setting up a squid cluster using NTLMv2 to authenticate users. My main concern now is how I could setup a backup Domain Controller server to connect to if the main Domain Controller couldn't be reached. So it's basically a backup DC that will only be used should the main one be unreachable.
Most people just stick to the normal PDC/BDC relations of Windows networking, which is also well understood by Samba winbindd automatically selecting the a proper DC for the request.
In Samba, just don't specify a password server and it will select one of the working ones automatically.
