Does samba support this ? winbindd handles the actual connection to the DC, and you can set the 'password server' parameter if you have particular requirements, but it will do failover automatically, selecting the best available DC.

Hmm, I was looking. The ntlm authenticator that comes with squid allows multiple domain controllers to load balance or failover between. Does samba support this ? Thanks Ian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Barnes Sent: 21 November 2005 08:47 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Backup Domain Controllers Hi, Our clients have raised a concern about allowing for backup domain controllers in our setup. We are using samba and squid to do ntlmv2 integrated logon. I immediately thought of a PDC BDC relationship, but when I asked them about it, they said they don't have scenario like that. They have regional PDC's and a core PDC. Is there a way to specify multiple servers during startup so that if the first one fails, then it will auto revert to another pdc? We join the domain as follows: # net ads join -S servername -w domain -U username%password After we have joined, we run winbindd and nmbd.
