preferred bridgehead server

[Steven S. Whitlow]

Can I make a domain controller in each site a bridgehead
server, in Sites and Services? Would this help Auth from
clients? What if there is only one bridgehead server in
a fourty site AD, what would happen?

Thanks

Although you can specify a particular dc to be the designated bridgehead
server in any given site, each site will automatically create one by
default. The following articles will give you some more info about this;
