[Samba] Questions about Browsing and PDC / BDC

[Michael Gasch]

hi,

i have a working PDC / BDC setup with both samba v3.
my question is related to failover:

is the following config right for a correctly configured network 
browsing and name resolution (especially for clients)?

PDC Config:
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 120
domain logons = yes
wins support = yes

BDC Config:
domain master = auto
os level = 65
domain logons = yes

if PDC fails, normally BDC should recognize that and become a domain 
master with this config, right?

is there any error in reasoning with "wins support = yes" and a failing PDC?

may be you have some more experience and a 100% working smb.conf 
regarding browsing (PDC/BDC).

thx in advance,
greez
