adapter teaming

Make sure you also reconfigure samba to listen on both interfaces, or at
least one.

With more than one nic (actually, i think it's by IP) in the box, you have
to tell samba which one(s) to use.

eg:
    interfaces = a.b.c.x/24 a.b.c.y/24;

Wouldn't it also be OK in BIND to have

samba-1      IN A  192.168.0.1
samba-2      IN A  192.168.0.2

samba    60  IN A  192.168.0.1
samba    60  IN A  192.168.0.2

1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR samba-1
2.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR samba-2

and let "samba" be a round-robin DNS entry
that alternates between 192.168.0.1 and
192.168.0.2. I put the sixty-second TTL
on the "samba" RR so that if one of the
NICs dies, you can simply comment out
the line for that NIC.

Also, "samba-1" (or "samba-2") can be
used to specifically hit a particular
interface.
