2) I plan to have a server on each subnet that will hold the static data
and act as BDCs relieving the load on the PDC. Effectively, the content
will be identical but as staff update data on one, is there a way of
binding the server shares together so one updates the other. I know you
can bind two drives on a unix box together with mount --bind. Has anyone
tried binding two samba shares together? Is it easier to script an rsync
-u .
the simple and low-end way is if you use rsync or something like that to
synchronize the data on both servers, and keep the data on both servers
local. Use one of them as master (writable for your staff) and the other
one as read-only slave.
the high-end (high budget) way of doing this is to use storage that can
be shared between multiple servers (for example a SAS or SCSI connected
box) and use a cluster filesystem such as GFS or OCFS2 (and ideally use
samba CTDB, then you have a real high performance, high availability
samba cluster).
