Dear Arp,
To which domain controller do the clients log on, I would like to share
more information with you:
The following article describes the mechanism used by Windows to locate a
domain controller in a Windows-based domain.
How Domain Controllers Are Located in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=247811
Hope this information clears your concerns.
Thanks and have a good day!

| Dear Arp,
|
| Thank you for your posting.
|
| To logon domain from the client computer, the client computer will send a
| logon request to the nearest domain controller in the same subnet. If the
| domain controller is not available at that time, it will send a broadcast
| to request a domain controller, then a domain controller from other
subnet
| will send a reply for make a connection between the client. The pdc
| emulator is used for domain password change.
|
| Hope it is helpful.
|
| Thanks and have a good day!
