Domain authentication over VPN

I have a site-to-site VPN in place going from one Sonicwall router to
another with DSL at both locations. I have a Windows server at only the one
location. Can I have users at the remote location log into the domain over
the VPN. Or will this be too slow and unreliable?

In theory it should work but I am skeptical as to how well it would do. You
might be better of creating "Sites" in Active Directory and placing a DC at
the remote site [physically] and also in the AD Site. AD will manage the
replication over the slow link via the Sites Object in AD. The users would
then log in at the DC in their location.

This would also allow the network to be survivable if the VPN was down for a
period of time.
