-Client retrieves list of DCs from DNS
-Client pings all DCs
-Whichever responds first, client attempts to authenticate to
-If the DC sees that there is a more appropriate DC based on site link 
costings, then the DC will return a referral to the client

Subject: Default DC?

What determines which DC a user connects to when logging in?
I've got one DC in a remote location yet some of my local machines are 
authenticating against it rather than the ones in the local network.
