When I stop the BDC all clients log on to the PDC. And to my confusion
when I restarted the BDC today and made a testparm on both PDC and BDC
both showd role domain pdc --> Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

Here my smb.confs:

PDC:
 [global]
           security=user
        smb ports = 139
        logon script = logon.bat
        logon path = \\%L\%U\profile\%U
        logon drive = S:
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 254
        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        wins server = 192.168.135.150 #this is a smbd4wins server
running on                                                      the same
machine
BDC:

[global]
            security=user
        smb ports = 139
        logon script = logon.bat
        logon path = \\%L\%U\profile\%U
        logon drive = S:
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 65
        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = No
        wins server = 192.168.135.150

What happens if the BDC is unavailable (You could simulate this by 
setting up iptables rules to drop all traffic from a given workstation)?

The way I understand it, workstations will use what ever DC is "closest"

to them. If the PDC is taking longer to respond or something then they 
may consider the BDC to be the best choice.
