Win2k multiple master replication does not have BDC's per se. If you DCPROMO as server, it joins the AD peer community. If not, it's just a member server. The PDC emulation role is really a feature of "legacy support," primarily for compatibility with nt4 servers that are BDC'S and expect to replicate with a PDC. The other FSMO roles determine which machine(s) is/are responsible for coordinating replication among machines in a site, and a domain may contain multiple sites. There is a certain sense that some peer 2kDC's are 'more equal' than others, such as the holder of a global catalog - these role assignments are mainly intended to permit control (and enhance the reliability) of replication in highly populated and dispersed environs. For the most part, the dynamic establishment of a replication strategy by the "KCC" (knowledge consistency checker) will provide you the best results unless you have unusual topology, site or bandwidth issues.
