Indeed! Adding a squid proxy server with NTLM authentication, for example, will increase the load on the server, and using Samba 3.0.11rc1's 'ldapsam:trusted = yes' will dramatically reduce it. (Now just to figure out exactly what I need to have in ldap to support it, but that's my lookout :-) You always need good server monitoring anyway, so you should have some idea when your servers are bogged down. Also, make sure to leave capacity for when you loose a server (that's why you got redundancy in the first place, right?). I've had a site that was 'just handling' the load, and when we lost a server, it killed the rest.
