I know what you mean but that's something we've tried.
If we shut down the PDC (and WINS server) then the clients were not able
to login even with the BDC running. They could not resolve the Domain !
maybe I misconfigured something...
you said in a prior mail, that the BDC is in the same subnet like the
PDC and the clients are in another subnet. that won´t work (if PDC/WINS
is down), because they cannot resolve the DCs via broadcast, because
they are in another subnet. that´s why i adviced setting up DCs in each
subnet

you misunderstood my recommendation:
the BDCs should not be WINS server.
if you have multiple subnets, each subnet should get its own BDCs for
logins to avoid login problems if the PDC and WINS server is down!

ok, you´re right. that´s another story.
i thought all clients/servers are in the same subnet, because your
BDC is on the same subnet as the PDC.
why don´t you setup BDCs for each subnet that your clients are at
least able to login?

problem remains that the single point of failure is your WINS server
(the PDC in my case). it's not recommend that you set each BDC to act
as a WINS server.
