Configure Samba for multiple AD Domain Controllers - How?

How do I configure samba such that AD authentication still works when a DC is down?

Do I need multiple kdc, admin_server, and kpasswd_server entries in krb5.conf?

Samba can only be an Active Directory member but not a Domain Controller:

Sorry, I guess my question was not clear. I have three Windows 2003 AD domain controllers and a bunch of Linux samba/winbind member servers. The Linux servers are configured to point to one of the Windows DCs for authentication. How to I configure samba to point to more than one Windows DC so that authentication still works if one Windows DC is down?

I guess If realm paremeter is your domain name, why don´t you try writing a list of servers for your password parameter.
