Hello, I have a rather experimental question to ask.
I know that under standard circumstances, that you cannot have multiple PDC for a single domain, as they will conflict with each other. I am dealing with a case of a school district, where there are multiple buildings.There are T-1s that tie together each of the buildings, then a bonded T-1 grants access to the internet through the main admin building. They would like to have a single domain, but would like to keep T-1 traffic to a minimum. They also want to continue with service when T-1 outages occur. What I was wondering is, if this could be made possible.. a PDC at each building, that ties into a slave LDAP server. At the Administration Building, There is a master LDAP Server. Optimally, if the Administration building could have a single BDC (Obviously, BDC functionality would only be available when T-1 connectivity is functioning), that would be great. I am wondering if this could somehow be accomplished with intelligent usage of nmbd services keeping PDC selection problems out of the way.. Optimally, having a method of a full mapping of all hosts via nmbd would be the best scenario, proxying to a central wins server. I fear that may result in PDC in-fighting..
