In the same spirit - but on the other side of the coin :) - I wouldn't mind hearing a brief elaboration on your earlier statement:
 
"I've found only a few scenarios in which they proved valuable"
 
Perhaps one reason might be when one of the servers in a site is underpowered/waiting to be upgraded, etc..?

Without wishing to labor the point Russ, what aspect of replication 'speed' was thought to be improved?  I ask as I often lecture on AD (and related technologies) and am interested to understand some of the misconceptions.

We thought it would "help" with replication speed.  I guess it was more of a WAG.

If you constrain the list of bridgeheads you may be incapable of replicating an app. NC in and out of a site since in order to replicate a particular partition, the bridgehead in question must hold a copy of it ... if the preferred list contains only 2K DCs, that can't happen .. for the most part ... a 2K3 ISTG will override your choices and allocate a suitable bridgehead for you, it will however whine and whine and whine and ... you get the idea.
 
I've found only a few scenarios in which they proved valuable ... may I ask why you're using them?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Preferred Bridgeheads

We're almost all Win2k3 Domain Controllers, have a few left to upgrade.
 
Question is, we have at least one DC at each site configured as a preferred bridgehead for IP.  Is this not a good idea?  Is it best to not prefer any bridgeheads and let AD do its job?  I'm seeing a lot of event ID 1567's about it as well.
 
Thanks
