[Samba] PDC and BDC with LDAP and Samba 2.2.4

Ok, i'm stuck at this point. Either if i want to move
the current PDC to another server or if i want to make
a BDC, i have to rejoin all the stations to the domain.

The machine account are stored in the LDAP database that 
I replicate to the BDC. The problem is that samba store
some kind of part of the machine account somewhere (maybe
in secrets.tdb) that i can't replicate on both servers. So
if the users log into another PDC, the machine accounts
are not valid for the server, so it deny all logon!

If anyone can help me find a way to have valid machine
account on 2 different DC...


Thanks!


Yannick
