I have 2 BES in UK/Shannon which serves Europe and 2 in US which serves U.S. and Asia/Australia with Exchange servers in each location for these users. Single AD domain with DC/GCs in several countries including Australia, Asia, U.S, France, UK etc. 2 BES domains because of SQL and use transporter to move users as needed.
Depending on the user count and location of your Exchange servers I would expand the BES environment to each location of an Exchange server which will fix your issues. My total BB user count was 2400, now 1800 because of IPhone but BES with a few hundred users runs fine on VM with SQL Express which will help keep cost down. Regardless, the best practice is to have the BES close to or in the same datacenter as the Exchange servers.

Currently we have Blackberry Users in US, UK, Australia and South Africa. User's Exchange mailbox server is in their local datacenter, but our only BES is in the US. As you can imagine, this creates frequent sync issues between the BES and remote mailbox servers. And International activations can be finicky. All offices use the same email domain, with MX records pointing to US Exchange edge servers. I am also interested in what the minimum local Exchange 2007 roles (same Exchange Org, Windows and email domain) would be to support a local BES server. Thanks!
