They don't, because they can't, because they ask for the PDC, or the
PDCe (in AD environments) when they change password.
As to the second bit - what sort of client?
Getting back to my response to your posting, though - I'm sorry, but you
are wrong - there are not BDCs in AD - whether that's semantics, or not.
Now there is a point, that for downlevel clients, password changes may
not be possible without the PDCe being up, but that's not the same as
saying there are effectively PDCs and BDCs in AD.
