Windows 2003 Server Global Catalog Question

-

dear all,

i have windows 2003 domain controller , windows 2003 server joined domain controller.  both are set to act as  global catalog.  question is, if main domain controller goes down or taken out maintenance, second controller take on role of authenticating user login?.  mean machine windows xp , vista has joined domain prior.  fyi, clients machine set have primary , secondary dns pointing 2 domain controller.  thanks.

regards,
kueh.
