samba - Nov 1997 - How do I use multiple NT password servers

Hello

I have a need to have multiple password servers in the smb.conf file.  Is there 
a way to accomplish this.

except by setting up multiple samba servers, or using:

file called /usr/local/samba/smb.conf

[global]

	include = /usr/local/samba/smb.conf.%m


file called /usr/local/samba/smb.conf.machine1

	password server = nt_machine1


etc.

the reason for this is that the first communication with the SMB server 
does not contain the username or any other useful info.

you could _maybe_ do it by NIS netgroup, resolved from the machine name.
