Hello everyone

My scenario is the following
two different trees

First Site has 2 IpSubnets One Domain controller in each subnet, the DNS is
AD Integrated and replicates two all Dns Servers in the same domain, both
Domain controllers are GCs. This Site have a Tree Root Domain.

Second Site has 1 Ip subnet, 1 Domain Controller is also a GC, the DNS is AD
Integrated and replicates two all Dns Servers in the same domain, This site
has a Second different Tree root domain.

The problem:
On 2nd Site I have condicional forwarding to domain01 (Site1), and i have
especified the ip addresses of the two domain controllers in each ipsubnet.
When one domain controller goes down, if I try to ping the domain01, it
takes some time until it figure out that the domain controller is down and i
get time out error, it takes some time until it start to ping the second
domain that is available.

Is this the normal behavior?

Thks-Regards.
