Bob thanks for your reply and answers.

Question 1: Is the situation as i discribed in my first post an good
solution.

Question 2: Is it workable with the WAN links i discribed???? (Creating on
forest with 10 site, with each site having his own DC, and on the main site
min. of 2 dc's )

Question 3: What's the trigger for installing an second DC, besides failover
or redundancy. The amount of clients creating workload on AD?

With regards,
Jerry
