Simply setup the second server as you setup the samba ldap on the first server. No need for a BDC. The samba on the second server just need to authenticate through ldap on the first server.
You should be able to just copy the /etc/ldap and the smb.conf(edited a bit) from the first server to the second server. It's dead easy.
We have a few servers here that all auth up against the zimbra ldap and have split up the samba config file into smb.conf and smb-shares.conf. Just use the 'include = /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf' option in the smb.conf.

Do I need to set up the second machine as a BDC, or simply a server?
Can someone please give me a smb.conf example to setup the fileserver?
My PDC smb.conf is the one used in Greg's HOWTO.
