Redundancy is achieved from the SMB side of things because you have 3
PDCs.  However, regardless if you have 1, 50, 120, or 420 workstations
attched and no matter how many PDCs you have, if your single LDAP server
goes up the spout, you're out of luck.  I'd definitely look at adding at
least one slave ldap server.

I hadn't thought of using a single LDAP directory with multiple PDC's to
achive BDC functionality until it was suggested today :)  Have to work on
implimenting that now.
