samba - Sep 2006 - Possible to have two SAMBA srvs act as one?

Hi,

is it possible to share write locks amongst two samba servers?

We are experiencing performance issues all the time, because one 
location (location A) is connected via VPN to the main location 
(location B) and needs to access files hosted there on some samba shares.
Now loc A gets its own server, but still files hosted in B need to be 
read/write accessed from A and vice versa.
It would be really nice to have all files and shares on both servers. 
And when a file is locked on srv1 it's also locked on srv2.
Is something like that possible?

Thnx in advance,
Michael

Hello,

what type of files do you have to share ?
Doc type files or database files ?
