Remote AD Site w/two DC's - Workstations not selecting good DC

-

we have remote ad site configured 2 dc's/gc's.  1 of dc's went down.  workstations not automatically getting logonserver up.

shouldn't workstations pick dc/gc working correctly?  i've been manually changing logonserver when calls.

thanks

what mean, "manually changing logonserver up."?  clients should using dclocator process track down available dc.  problem happens when users being unable contact dc workstation clients don't have second dns server defined in clients ip properties on network properties on workstation.

please post ipconfig /all client having problems.
