samba - Oct 1998 - locking for multiple samba servers sharing same NFS filesystems

Is there any support for file locking in a case where multiple Samba
servers are set up with shares for the same NFS mounted filesystem?  I
don't know how the STATUS..LCK file is used, but for instance, could
that file be shared between the multiple Samba servers via and NFS
mount?

Thanks!

	I think I'd rather have samba doing its exporting directly
	from a single server with a scsi attachment to the disks
	or disk array...

	I'm assuming here you need a large-scale and scalable
	samba service, which you will not get with samba re-exporting
	from NFS.  Two trips across the 'net is one two many.
