Mike,
I'd start with DCDIAG and Netdiag well covered in other topics here. I
didn't see how long replication has been broken in your environment but
could also be a factor. Post the (Dcdiag / netdiag) results from each DC
here and likely the MVP's will give expert guidance. I'm offline for the
next day or so, but good luck.
