I *think* that if your PDC's and BDC's are in the same broadcast domain
this might work. However, most of use are not set up that way and smb_auth
has no mechanism to specify multiple domain controllers. What I do is use
this perl script as my authenticator (perl script courtesy of Henrik). If
the first DC fails it will check the other. Not ideal but it works.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use IPC::Open2;
open2(*read1,*write1,"/usr/local/squid/bin/smb_auth -W ap1 -U {PDC IP}");
open2(*read2,*write2,"/usr/local/squid/bin/smb_auth -W ap1 -U {BDC IP}");
select write1;
$|=1;
select write2;
$|=1;
select STDOUT;
$|=1;
while(<>) {
  print write1 $_; $ans = <read1>;
  if ($ans =~ /^OK/) { print $ans; next; }
  print write2 $_; $ans = <read2>;
  if ($ans =~ /^OK/) { print $ans; next; }
  print $ans;
}
