How do you configure DNS for those sites?  Currently these sites point to our 
provider DNS servers for Internet sites.  I could add entries in local host 
files and still leave the provider DNS entries.  I don't want DNS requests for 
sites going across tunnels.

Sure. We have two domains and a VPN between them. When I sit at the main site 
we can setup a PC and add it to the remote domain, they are able to find the 
remote DC through our DNS.

Subject: PC in domain across stable VPN tunnel?

Hey folks:
 
I have about 15 sites that have 2- 5 users/PCs that have "business class" 
broadband (a bit faster than typical home access).  Soon I plan to provide each 
site a soho firewall and will have a VPN tunnel from each site to here at HQ.  
 
I'd love to be able to add these PCs to our domain so I could enforce our 
various GPOs at these locations.  Has anyone done this?  I already have several 
tunnels like this at other locations but haven't added the PCs to the domain.
 
I'm not sure about the cross-tunnel authentication, but if it's not too slow 
(no mapped drives or logon scripts), I'd do it.  It would be nice to have these 
users log into the domain as well.
 
Comments, suggestions, words of wisdom?
