First...my apologies for the munged email above...I'm working with SLED 10 beta8 and evolution/groupwise aren't mixing well at the moment.
Inadvertent routing issue... was my stupidity...I started with DHCP on both nics and somehow managed to keep the route for both NICs once I changed them to be static IPs. I didn't realize what that did until I sucked up some packets with ethereal and did some digging when I noticed that I wasn't getting replies consistently across the primary interface. With ethereal...I suck in everything and then filter on one nic at a time and then go thru the packets to see where they were going. For checking SAMBA, you may wish to filter on Netbios session service (I think) and see if you can find any anomalies. Leaving the capture filter wide open may fill the buffer quick if it's small and you have an active network, but then you can simple use filters to find a ton o' stuff once you've captured a bucket full.
I set it up as mode=1 (active-back) for transmit and left it default for receive (mode=0 - round-robin). It was a simple HA config for
Here's more links...that show simple stuff.
