Swapping the role of the PDC to another BDC will not effect the trusts in
place.
The NT4 BDC will still be a BDC because it is still NT4. NT 5.x boxes are
DCs. NT machines still run in the same way -they simply hold a read-only
replica of the domain database. You will be running in mixed mode active
directory until all BDCs are gone and you change the mode to Native.

Ryan thanks for your answer but one thing is that you have not answered my question. A) Will the Trust be there when I change my current PDC and make my new server a PDC? Will the trust transwer? Second not sure what you meant when you said " Now, you'll have AD with the NT4 server as a BDC" Why would it be a BDC and not PDC? Thanks for your help.
