If your clients are win2k or newer (or samba 3.x) you can use msdfs
(distributed file system). A dfs share, is a list of other shares. In that
way, you can make a samba dfs proxy which points the user to other servers.

A resource on the dfs proxy maps to realservers like this:
\\dfs-proxy\shareX      ->   \\sambaXX\shareX
                        ->   \\sambaYY\shareX
                        ->   \\sambaZZ\shareX
                        ->   ....

The samba client will than have a list of servers providing the requested
resource. Alle the communication will go directly to one server, the proxy
is only involved the first time a user connect to the resource. If the
client is unable to communicate with the server, it will try another server
in the list.
