	And it shouldn't. :-)

	PDC/BDC strategy is used to share the load and keep your
network running logons and so on, if you have a common backend
then you can share the files and work something like a High
Avaliability or CLustered environment.

	You might be interested in the [1]wiki page about Samba
& Cluster, it is a work in progress, but could help you achieve
what you want.

	Exactly, so it seems to be working the way it should be.

	Hmmm... _maybe_. :-)   Check the above wiki page.
