  So... you're not using LDAP.

  Let's start from the beginning.  What, exactly are you trying to do?
What have you done?  Why did you think that would work?

  Be specific.

  In short, you *can't* do LDAP fail-over if you're using ntlm_auth.
That's because ntlm_auth interacts with Samba.  And you have *no* LDAP
configuration in the "authorize" section.  And Samba takes care of
Samba-related fail-overs, so LDAP isn't necessary.

  It's like you're asking for flying lessons, and showing up with a
bicycle.  There's a bit of a disconnect somewhere.
