Yes I know how it _should_ happen :) After a bit more reading I think I can make a resource (or resource group) that is considered started when it is able to ping one of the Domain Controllers (including an offsite DC that requires the router VM being up). Once a DC is pingable it will only be a few seconds away from being fully functional, so it is reasonable to start other VMs. This seems much better than a blind delay.
