samba - Aug 2006 - POLL: Does anyone actually use multiple passdb backends on the same server?

hello

the passdb backend no longer accepts multiple backends in a chaining 
configuration since samba 3.0.23a .

question:

will the following confi still work?

passdb backend = ldapsam://ldapserver1 ldapsam://ldapserver2 ?

the idea is to use 2 ldap servers

The syntax is

  passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap//ldapserver1 ldap://ldapserver2"

There's a regression in 3.0.23a that breaks the "".
It has been fixed in 3.0.23b (which will be available
in the next few hours).

There are several ways to specify multiple ldap servers.

passdb backend = ldapsam://ldapserver1 ldapsam://ldapserver2

should work as failover solution - when ldap1 is down, ldap2 should be 
tried.
But i found than failed ldap1 do not make smbd to use ldap2 in my 
installation.
I have reported this problem here, but got no answer.
