In the old NT4 model I think it was up to the client to decide who to send the authentication request to. I also seem to remember the BDC was preferred over the PDC as it was assumed the BDC would have less load.
In short I think the clients get to choose based on what they can see in the network browser and/or WINS. If both the PDC and BDC are WINS serves you could list the priority for the WINS servers and add the static entries to get the desired result. IMHO I would always try to get authenticate against the local server and look at propagation between PDC & BDC if there is a syncronisation constraint. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ]On Behalf Of Dmitry Melekhov > Sent: 05 April 2006 05:44 > To: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: [Samba] remote BDC > > > Hello! > > I want to have BDC in another subnet. > I.e. > > PDC--router--4Mbit link----router----BDC---users > > I want users workstations logins into PDC if link is up and into BDC. > > If I setup BDC as > /|domain master = no|//| > domain logons = yes > > then users logins into BDC although #1c records in wins are for BDC too. > > Is it possible to implement PDC-BDC as I want? :-) > > Thank you! > > |/ > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
