No, there isn't a hierarchy to that extent. If you have a hub and spoke type layout you can work with what DNS records are registered so that if a local DC isn't found, machines will fall back to hub sites instead of going to WAN (spoke) sites. This is accomplished by telling all of the WAN sites to not register their generic (or global) records, just register their site specific records.
See

for your options.

I am in the process of setting up Sites for specific locations for my company (i.e. NY, Tampa, Houston, etc...) My question is after I have set up the sites is there a way to specify what site to use for user logons if the Domain Controllers go down in a specific site, what locations Domain controllers they should use in order? Basically what I am asking is if I somehow lose both DC's in NY is there a way to specify that user's logging on should use Tampa next, then Houston, etc... Thanks.
