Right, I allready had this kind of setup.
I created 3 remote sites and subnets assigned to those sites.
Remote DC's have been joined with the " --site" option.

I even tried to setup Site Links, but it doesn't help.

Here is my topology

Main Site:
DC1
DC2 => well replicated from DC1
DC3 => well replicated from DC1

Remote_Site_1
DC4 => tries to replicate from DC2, but fails with WERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error
(even manually with samba-tool drs replicate DC4 DC1 DC=mydomain,DC=lan)

Remote_Site_2
DC5 => well replicated from DC1

Remote_Site_3
DC6 => well replicated from DC1, but sometimes fails trying to replicate 
from DC3...



I tried demoted DC4 several times and rejoined it, whithout success.
Each time it fails with ths machine (i checked network and dns settings, 
nothing's wrong)


So from what i see "drs showrepl" shows me that sometimes a remote DC 
tries to DC1, sometimes not, and i would like to control it.
