Actually, you should point the BDC to a slave ldap, preferably on the same 
machine. That's what I'm doing anyway.
The only thing I depend on being on the PDC alone is the wins server, since 
samba can't replicate it yet. I just choose to place the wins server at the 
PDC, but it could be any other machine. But only one (no backups).
