In my opinion, there is a pure TCP/IP network issue...
A sample example:
The DC is 10.10.0.1 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0 (/16 as indicated).
if you try to ping 10.10.41.104, it will try to communicate on the LAN,
seeking its arp.
It won't send packet to the gateway since 10.10.41.0 must be on the LAN.
The only way to get it work is to use a Layer 2 link between both site.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Overlapping AD Subnet Boundaries
Say I create an AD subnet of 10.10.0.0/16 and assign it to our primary site,
and another subnet as 10.10.41.0/24 and assign it to a secondary site. Will
AD treat a client address of, say, 10.10.41.104 as a client on the secondary
site, or will it default to the more general primary subnet? The reason I
ask is we now have a need for a second AD site (I can see all the enterprise
folks grinning now) and we have quite a number of other subnets that I'd
have to manually enter if this is not the case. I don't mind doing it, but I
was curious either way.
