The first thing to work out is whether this is a routing problem or just
a name resolution problem. If a remote user can ping a machine in the other
branch by its IP address, the problem is name resolution. If it can't, you
have a routing problem.
Do the remote users get IP addresses in the 10.10 subnet? This sort of
setup (called on-subnet addressing) uses proxy arp on the LAN to give the
remotes access and is not recommended for a routed network
You may need to put the remotes in their own IP subnet (ie off-subnet
addressing)
and use normal IP routing techniques to route between the three subnets. The
branch router would need to send traffic for the remote subnet through the
VPN connection.
