samba - Oct 2016 - Samba4, cluster FS and dns load balance to achive HA

Hello everyone, this is my first thread

I watched the CTDB solution and allows to build a NAS Cluster with load
balancing and failover
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/CTDB_Setup
But still does not work as Active Directory Domain Controler. The question
is:
if i build to setup an AD DC in an single server over a cluster system
files( example GPFS or Lustre ) this setup can work
with a high availvility feature with dns round robin to balance each
Connection with each node?

thanks to read this.

regards

No, Samba as an AD DC can not be clustered, and should be installed as
 a standalone server, ideally on multiple bits of hardware.

As an AD DC, the data is then replicated between the DCs using DRS
replication.
