Question : Assistance with active directory and file replication errors

Two domain controllers, connected via VPN connection.

All is working great, however we continue to get errors from what I think are DNS related issues.

Did a dcdiag on what we will call the second server (SERVER2) at the remote location.

Server1 is at the main office.

The log below:
