Fooling around with ntdsutil and metadata cleanup or ADSIedit should give you some hints about the name of the DC(s) that's (are) missing. If its missing on purpose, you need to do the metadata cleanup for the server to get rid of it completely (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;216498) or if that server should be online, you need to demote it, do the same cleanup, fix the network connection, then promote it again. I don't know if there's any way of fixing a DC that has been isolated for too long, but if there is, its not probably worth the trouble since demoting-promoting is a pretty straightforward and simple procedure.

It seems you have not been watching your logs frequently... One of the DC has not replicated with this DC beyond tombstone lifetime... it could be a DC which was taken offline abruptly, without properly demoting it. run dcdiag.exe on that server it will tell you, which other DCs it is not able to replicate.
