Hi folks I needs some advice on the best implementation of our distributed network environment. At present our architecture is running sparc Solaris8/9 using nis/dns for naming services, and running samba 2.0.1.0a. I recently redesigned the network. implementation, and need to know whether this is the best design to use given the network environment. Our primary environment is UNIX based (Solaris 8/9) with say 20% laptop users who use various windows OS. We have about 20 sites spread across the country on local loop, most of samba servers are also offering services such as sunray and various other client/server services. Some are multi-home servers that have a presents on all local site subnets, and some have 2 servers that are provided services on those local subnets. I decided to stop of the nmbd providing local resolution and to point all LMB to the centralised wins/DMB wins support = no wins server =X.X.X.X. Which works a treat all LMB sync there browselist with the DMB and all clients can go to My Network Places and select a site and use any of the shares available, which is great. What worry me is that is for any reason the primary wins/DMB fails or has any problems then the whole network disappears from the My Network Places. Is there away to maintain 2 DMB and Wins servers for redundancy. Or would I be better of running local nmbd services and using remote browse sync and remote announce to communicate with the primary DMB/Wins. O yeah one last thing to mention this is just one big domain, Any help offered would be much appreciated. Many Thanks in advanced Sean
