If I do a query (I plan to use SDS.P) against the global catalog, what should the starting path be so I can search the entire GC?

I want to enumerate all users in GC, for example. Let's say my gc has users for 3 domains (one parent, two children):

TEST.COM
   ONE.TEST.COM
   TWO.TEST.COM

and i'm on a computer in ONE.TEST.COM. I do not want to hardcode DC=XXX,DC=yyy, I would like to determine that at runtime.

TIA! -Will
