  Don't forget, there's really no such thing as a "secondary DC" in
AD.  All AD DCs are peers.  Clients can and will connect to whatever
they like, unless you manually force them to particular DC.

  This detail normally isn't all that important, unless you fall into
the trap of thinking  "client ... is hitting my secondary DC for auth"
is a problem.  It seems you have.  :)

  If that's the case, you need to get your DCs fixed ASAP.  DCs in the
same site should be replicated within 15 minutes or so.  Check the
logs on all the DCs, see what they say.

  DCs which are not replicating will eventually tombstone all the
other DCs, at which point that DC is essentially forever split off
from the rest of your network.  I think you have something like 60
days before everything gets irrecoverably scrogged.  I got called in
to clean up that mess once.  Was months picking up the pieces.
