In the account setup of an enduser define their Terminal server profile
path as = \\%profileserver%\sharenameformandatoryprofile\
On farm servers in location A - set a new environmental variable at a
system level defining %profileserver% = profileserver for location A.
Similar steps for locationB.
You should be able to test this without affecting any other end users, and
by using variables in the accounts, the terminal server farm they log into
should be able to find the local mandatory profile server to load up their
profile for them.
