There is also DOMAIN<1C> which contains the IP address of the 
PDC and the addresses of possible BDCs...

As far as I know DOMAIN<1D> is for LMB and DOMAIN<1B> is for 
DMB, but Windows Clients don't distinguish between PDC and 
DMB.

There is an article in Microsoft's knowledge base which described 
the function of the registered names: Q119495

Bye,
