If you want to do this, you will want to be familiar with this technology: http://ctdb.samba.org/
Using it in conjunction with a cluster file system like GFS2 can give you a very robust alternative Windows file server cluster option. <put on his Red Hat... hat> RHEL6 (which should be launching in a few weeks now) has Samba3 w/ CTDB support, as well as support for GFS2. If you are interested in getting a supported and certified software stack to do the replacement, I would recommend that direction. If you are interested in talking more, I can get you in touch with a Red Hat sales rep, as well as a solution architect who can help you discuss the solution in depth.
