I can't say I've tested this in any depth. Where multiple LDAP servers are listed as the LDAP backend is the behaviour of Samba that if it fails to contact the first listed server it will try the second and so on? If that's the case Samba should only ever try and update the password on a single LDAP server which would then replicate the change to any other master and slave LDAP servers in the environment. This should work pretty well no? Are my assumptions on Samba correct?

(can still run Samba on whatever platform you want) Samba doesn't expect a multi-master OpenLDAP backend. It expects that when it changes a record, that upon success the record is finally modified. It will probably work quite well, but I'm worried about things like conflicting password changes.
