Bridged WAN = 1 subnet, everything is local to everything else. It's a traffic nightmare, especially since every broadcast traverses every WAN link.
>From an AD perspective, I'm always wary of doing the manual replication objects. Not to mention one would have to do a LOT of work to ensure the use of local DC's for authentication.
