Two things.

First - why is SMTP replication not an option? That seems like needlessly
removing the correct answer to the problem. SMTP replication is designed for
high latency, low bandwidth links.

Second - Have you considered not putting a DC there at all? If it's a small
site, it might be worth having them authenticate across the Wan. The more I
think about it, that's probably not a great option, however.
