Hi David..

Bound was probably not the correct word to use..

When you modify the samba config to reflect the name of the virtual
hostname, this is the name that samba uses to join to the domain, and as a
result when the other node becomes active, using the same hostname but a
different ID so the computer account is not valid in AD and a rejoin is
necessary. I spend 2 days trying to work around this and did not succeed.

so i left the samba config on both nodes with the hostname of the local
system

smb.conf on node 1:
node1.domain.local

smb.conf on node 2:
node2.domain.local

both nodes joined to domain, and are accessable via DNS name from Windows
clients

after heartbeat is configured you present an IP Address, and manually
register this IP Address to a DNS A record within your DNS environment.

Since heartbeat is only allowing this IP address to be active on one node at
a time a Windows client will resolve this A record to the virtual IP Address
on the cluster, and the client will connect to the samba instance even
though it is not configured with the virtual interface details, (should you
be presenting a banner to samba clients you will see the physical server
details when connecting, you should be able to change this should you wish)


Hope this makes some form of sense

Jay
