So is it OK if I set up all my Samba servers as PDCs?

Then if one PDC fails, another PDC will handel all "writes" etc.

I did some quick tests, and it *seemed* to work.

I assume that it is *not* OK to have multiple PDC servers though, 
because I've read so in Samba documentation - but it wasn't very clear 
for me why there should be one and *only one* PDC.
