I'm aware of, at least generally, how one would have done a BDC/Redundant server under OpenLDAP Samba3.
However, rolling your own multi-domain-controller was fairly daunting [for me] under Samba3 / OpenLDAP. I've been very interested in Samba4 for the more integrated nature of having LDAP/DNS/Samba all under one roof. [i.e. Fewer places where I can screw it up horribly.] However I'm also interested in how one can handle fail-over. I don't need something totally seamless and "big-iron" style. A backup box that would need some manual intervention would be fine. So, something like an rsync'd backup box where the shared files/accounts/etc are perhaps an hour out of date, and that would require 15 minutes to bring up as a primary would be an acceptable solution. That's not to say I wouldn't want something better, but that's kind of the low end of the "acceptable" scale. I've done some searches on the list and spent a while looking for "examples" but I don't easily find any. [Using searches with: samba4 bdc, redundant, backup, etc. There are a ton of very old articles on the list, but almost nothing I could find specifically on Samba4.] Could some kind soul point me either to: 1) Search terms more likely to produce results, or some discussion threads or 2) wiki/how-to's on how to accomplish something in the neighborhood on this subjet? [Option #2 preferred.] As a note, I'd be glad to help document this/provide a "here's what I did and how", provided it's something reasonable for me to apply to the situation I'm referring to - so I'm more than glad to contribute back where I can.
