I have a large fileserver located in the server room for our university. Its subnet is different from where the majority of our computers are located, and so the client machines will not be able to see the broadcasts. I'm realativly new to using samba, but my idea is to move our current PDC(using ldap) and put it on the fileserver, and put a domain member local(on same subnet) to our computer lab. I've done this before when the lab next door required that their machines be isolated from the internet. The domain member machine was also a gateway+firewall. Is this idea sound? Currently our PDC is local the our machines and uses autofs to mount the homes, which has caused some problems. Running samba ver 3.0.22 on both RHEL v4 local server and Solaris 10 fileserver.
