I have been using a samba 2 node cluster for over a year now; it has been
very successful.
I have a PDC/LDAP Master BDC/LDAP Slave configuration.
I have heartbeat configured, and DRBD Raid1 over LAN for the home
directories/profiles.
In the smbldap.conf I have the profiles & home pointing to the clusters
virtual IP as DRBD can only have one partition mount on the cluster at any
one time. This means if the BDC handles a logon without the share mounted;
it will use the share mounted on the PDC. :S
To me it has proven itself to be a very successful overall configuration.
Regards,
Adrian Sender.

I compiled two versions on different directories (/usr/local/samba1 and
samba2).
At this point, I can run 2 samba's on one node in case of failure but
problems are on Active Directory
authentication for the Fallback node.
Yes, I am, but it does not do file sharing, just printing.
What I did was set up a logical IP on both machines and if the fallback
node detected that the other node's primary IP went down, it would turn on
that interface and start samba. Not exactly the most perfect setup but it
seems to work pretty well. I use regularly scheduled rsyncs to keep the
various tdbs and printer drivers in sync.
For file serving you'd probably want to add a stonith device and then have
both machines attached to a scsi array. There's still that array being the
single point of failure, but it's better than nothing.
