����m with you, having 1 physical DC (an older workstation lying around will suffice)to backup the VMDCs seems like a reasonable thing to do. Having both DCs on the same host is kind of scary, having 2 hosts at least gives you redundancy against HW failure.

What would be the point of doing that? I cant even think of what you would gain other than power consumption savings. Personally I cat convince myself to have all my DCs Vd. *All but one* is my mindset, and no, I cant explain why I feel this way.
