Talking to Apple and through my own efforts there doesn't seem to be a way

to Apple home directories for PC users can only reside on the PDC/Master
server?
This summer we migrated from a NT PDC to an Xserve PDC and virtually all
of our users have their homes on a NetApp filer so I'm not sure why you've
been told that they must reside on the PDC even though that's where they
would by default.
For a user's Unix homes, we do a static NFS mount of the NetApp on the Xserve
and then create home directories there. The Windows home directory is
defined for each user in the Windows tab of WGM where you pick a drive
and then give a UNC path to the home. If your PDC is named FRED, the default is:
\\FRED\userid
but if your home dir server is named SALLY, then use something like
\\SALLY\userid
...we actually prefer to keep windows and unix files separate so we create
a subdir for the Windows home, e.g.
\\SALLY\userid\win
If you use roaming profiles (which I generally think are a bad idea, but which
can only be suppressed on the Xserve by modifying /etc/smb.conf directly), then
you also need to put a UNC name into the "User Profile Path" because Apple
currently defaults that field to be \\FRED\userid\profile.
