If he can create sites, then couldn't he create a site link from his remote offices to his HQ, and disable site link bridging.  This would let him leave his KCC active.

We do, at least, have each of our remote sites with a different IP range
since the network USED to be routed (long story short, our core processor
uses a serial printing protocol that was not routable at the time)
==

So I assume he could, without too much effort, create sites using the
appropriate masks. The traffic still wouldn't be routed, but at least AD
could group DCs into physical locations.

If it's really bridged, as in one big, happy IP subnet, how would you create
sites ?  Maybe I'm just confused...happens a lot lately. Dave

I *think* the default is 300 minutes, but can be configured down as low as
15 minutes.
