Yes, there are 2 sites, as described in my first email. Machines are correctly
finding their home sites and choose the nearby logon server based on the
local IP addresses.

Well, I guessed this much. The question is how?

Thank you!

Using RSAT,  I have the Sites specified in Sites -> Inter-Site Transports
-> IP.

Then, under each Site, I have the DC enabled as "a preferred bridgehead
server for the following transports: IP."

You might also need to specify an "InterSite Topology Generator" in
each
Site under Sites -> NTDS Site Settings.

But replication links should be visible under Sites -> Servers ->
<DC>
->NTDS Settings.
