Strange question.
If you have Forrest in your organization and more than one DC, then active directory should be propagated to all DC so all DC's will have same information.
If you want force workstation to use specific DC just put this DNS IP on workstation NIC IPv4 properties

netdom /domain:savilltech /user:savillj /password:nottelling member <computer name> /joindomain

netdom /domain:savilltech /user:savillj /password:nettelling member <computer name> /add

You need to configure Active Directory Sites and Services to link the subnet to correct site which in turn contains DC.
Test GC for example with this command
Setting logonserver variable has no effect on which DC is used for Kerberos, GC etc.
