Sorry you are right;

Figure 6.2. Samba Configuration to Use a Single LDAP Server

The addition of a failover LDAP server can simply be done by adding a second entry for the failover server to the single ldapsam entry, as shown here (note the particular use of the double quotes):

passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://master.abmas.biz \
                          ldap://slave.abmas.biz";

Thats my fault for not using the correct example.

This is the incorrect way to handle this problem.  The correct syntax is
given as an example in the smb.conf manpage:

  passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap-1.example.com \
                  ldap://ldap-2.example.com";
