Re: DC Query

AD is a multi-master DB why would you not want to so you would have a
balanaced work load. If you have set it up so only one responds then you
would have to intervene instead of the system doing it automatically for
you. If you were to shut this dc off and only turn it on in the event of an
emergency you wouldn't have a proper ad replication (Out of sync and
tombstoned).

I highly, highly recommend against this.
