Another thing I've noticed that helps a bit(in terms of balancing) is to place a GCS at each remote location. I've noticed less traffic across our WAN (except of course during replication). Just a thought.

I just did a basic logon.bat though.
code:
%0\..\kix32 logon.kix
Works fine on all machines. Except I have to install the DSClient on the Win9x machines. [Roll Eyes]

Nuff rambling...
