1. You can set how often the links will replicate.
2. You can create different links between sites based on bandwidth for
example, assigning different costs to them.
So bandwidth is not an issue usually, especially when dealing with small
branches.
I would go for DCs on the local branches.

Subject: [THIN] OT: AD across Wide Area
Looking for some info on how those of you have deployed AD across
multiple wide area sites. I have a lot of small offices with under 10
people, all have a server that I can make a DC or a member server.
These offices are VPN'd back to my Corporate office and all computers
across the WAN are part of the domain.
I'm undecided on the best way to deal with the small offices. Do I make
the local servers DCs? Do I leave them member servers and set primary
DNS to point back across the VPN to the Corporate office? Or do I take
some other route?
My concerns with making them DCs is excess replication. If I don't make
them DCs, then my concern is a VPN link going down, or an internet line
going down. Now there is no local server to perform domain
authentication for logins, network resources, etc.
