I have a BDC that crashed and because of this I have several other servers and workstations that are trying to authenticate to that server and can not. How can I force these servers and workstations to authenticate to my other BDC or my PDC?

Have a look at Microsoft document Q153719. It explains how to re-sync your BDC so your users can authenticate there again.

Well theoretically your users should automatically authenticate to the available BDC or PDC. Do you have a path, router or gateway, that prevents the workstations from knowing how to get to the PDC or BDC?
If your users can see the domain controllers and have resolution, then one of the other controllers should automatically respond. Well I'm not sure if this helps but it helped me to think about it. Good luck.
