OK, you really should be only using the DC's for authentication and you 
sound like you are also using them as fileservers etc. This isn't a good 
idea, but sometimes you have to do this, just as long as you understand 
the limitations. What you shouldn't do is use multiple DC's for the same 
thing, as a mailserver for instance. You can have the mailserver objects 
in AD and these will be available on all DC's, but you shouldn't use all 
DC's as a mailserver.

I think it might be an idea if you could explain your setup in a bit 
more detail. If you must use a cluster, then you need to use Unix domain 
members to create the cluster and then join these to the domain.
