Hi,

For normal readers you kn ow already my setup, but for those new here, I have a Samba4 PDC and two BDCs one a samba4 and the other a W2k8 R2 machine.

Yesterday we had problems with our upstream service provider and my PDC (Backend BIND 9 DLZ) went down for some hours, as you might guess my whole AD was down due to the fact that the main DNS was down.

I would like youi to point me or tell me how do I create a fail-over or high availability system so that when one of the DCs is down the other takes over Auth tasks and obviously DNS.

I've thought a solution would be to make a slave BIND DNS on another slaver and replicate the Samba Zone and add aappropriate NS and A records to the main zone so that clients can query another DNS for the zone and not fail as I faced yesterday. This is a production environment scenario and I have many servers authenticating users against the samba server so if this fails everything else does.

I'd really appreciate your advise here.

Thanks again.
