Force a client to use different DC

I have seen an article that mentions using SETPRFDC but as I'm not dealing
with NT4 machines, this won't work. I'm not so interested in which one they
use when they boot up(found that registry hack), just swinging a client
that's maybe using DC2 to look at DC3. Kind of like the nslookup command lets
you use another DNS server.

What has replaced SETPRFDC for newer OS's? Are there tools that already
exist on the systems that I can leverage to force the client to a different
DC?

Really only possible if you create a site within AD
 
If it could be moved to the same domain but specified to a different DC, that
would be cool.
