I agree with Ken.  DCDiag looks great below because the WAN is up and available. As soon as the WAN goes down the local DC in the site cannot access the _msdcs sub-domain of the root zone (or delegated zone if you have configured it as such) and therefore is missing some of the information required for the clients to properly resolve all the names required.

 

See the Windows 2000 Branch Office Guide for more information.  You will find that MS recommends create a zone for the _msdcs DNS information and using Secondary zones and transfers for this zone onto all branch office DCs.

Hmmm.... not a simple one then.

 

Can you see the correct SRV records for the server in DNS and also under the correct site?
