MORE QUESTION ON SITE/SUBNET CONFIG AND DC'S

[Calvin Lai]

One domain, 2 Win 2000 server DC's in main office, all users in main
office and branch offices authenticate to the 2 DC's.

Main office is 10.91.x.x, branch office A 10.51.x.x, branch office B
10.85.x.x, etc.

I've placed a new DC (CORPDC03) in 10.85.x.x branch and 2 new DC's
(CORPDC04, CORPDC05) in the 10.91.x.x main office.

So far, looking at login logs generated by the kix script, seems like
80-90% of users at 10.85.x.x is being authenticated on CORPDC03 while
the remaining are being authenticated on other DC's. Is that right? I
would assume that all 100% of users at 10.85.x.x would authenticate on
CORDPC03?

If the closest DC is too busy (i.e. morning log-ins) then
logon requests are handles by the other DCs to do load-
balancing and service the logon requests in a timely
fashion.
