Hello,
I have a PDC with master ldap backend and a BDC with slave ldap
backend
(both are SaMBa 3.2 on Debian Lenny). I want to install an additional
SaMBa
server on an another site (on Debian Squeeze). The two sites is
connected
with VPN (on not so reliable ADSL lines). I read an interesting
network
scenario in the Samba Guide chapter 6: theoretically it is possible to
install one PDC on both site, with the same domain, server name, and
SID. I
like this idea, but: is there anyone who tried that, have experience
with
it?
No, but your best option is to simply use LDAP replication and install
an LDAP server on the remote location server. This way, auth traffic
on the remote is always local (saving bandwidth) and is available
regardless of the link being up or down. Do the same with DNS, and
you'll be quite happy with the results as will your users.
Thank you, in advance.
