Matt,

Will this only be an issue once we have a WAN?  We don't have one right now (though we will in one or two years, so this is good for me to know regardless).

Assuming your above recommendation also applies to our current situation... Server A contains student home folders, server B the teacher home folders, and server C is the PDC.  Could servers A & B each additionally be a BDC?
