Set will tell you which logon server has handled the clients logon. Look for LOGONSERVER:
There could be something wrong with our local DC. Run DCDIAG and check the event viewer for errors in directory service and DNS.

I also googled around and found out about "set l" on the command line, which shows our local DC. But I'm not sure how useful this is, because the VPN tunnel has been broken for a couple days and the logins are more recent than that.

I believe they perform to functions: 1. To control DC replication traffic between sites. 2. To make clients authenticate with local domain controllers first.

I've a situation where it seems that all our Windows computers are attempting to authenticate off of a remote server before the local one, which is backwards. I'm not even certain where to check what they are actually attempting to authenticate against, but whenever a VPN tunnel we have to an upstream office breaks, logins and file share browsing and other stuff slows to a crawl.
