[Samba] Samba as PDC and BDC on the same network.

[Clement DIEBOLD]

I have recently configured two servers to be controlers of my domain.
The first one is the PDC and is configured like :
   domain master = yes
   prefered master = yes
   local master = yes
   domain logons = yes
   security = user
   os level = 99

And the second, the BDC like :
   domain master = no
   prefered master = no
   local master = no
   domain logons = yes
   security = user
   password server = PDC BDC
   os level = 40

When the two servers are started, i see in the logs :
DOMAIN(1) current master browser = PDC
                BDC 40009a03 (BDC)
                PDC 400c9b0b (PDC)

but my clients (windows 2000 and XP) are authenticated by the BDC.

I don't unterstand why it's working like this !! The PDC becomes the 
master if I set the domain logons option to no.

Thanks.
