I just tried to make samba real servers blind with iptables rules.
their only visible mahines are an LDAP server and the director.
it still have some drawbacks (that are not yet documented in the draft)
but I manage to authenticate against 2 samba real servers and I manage
to access shares on each of them (directly in their FS). now is the
problem of sync for the shares, I thought about a SAN, or some DRBD
cross definition. still to explore.
I've started reading Fred's doc, but haven't figured out how he does it yet.
If Fred has this working, then he's acheived a long sought after goal of
making highly available samba clustering
(see

for problems that have stopped people from achieving this)
