Is it possible to manually assign/configure a specific Domain controller for users to authenticate against when their are two or more DC's on a network?

The only way I know about is by ip-address range and sites.

You configure 2 sites within your domain, than you assign 1 controller to the first site and the other domain controller to the second one. Sites however are build up on base off ip-address ranges. If you make sure that the client is in the same ip-range of the domaincontroller you want him to communicate with first will do so on base of membership of this site.

Please read some info about Sites and Services in windows 2003. Than you know what i mean.
