Trust relationship has failed for National domain

We have a domain controller located in a remote location (A) with ip scheme xxx.xxx.1.xxx.  We can join a computer to the domain in location (B) with ip scheme xxx.xxx.2.xxx  because we have setup a hardware vpn tunnel to location (A).  When we move the computer to a new location (C) with ip scheme xxx.xxx.3.xxx that also has a hardware vpn to location (A) we get the "Trust relationship has failed..." error.  In summation:
A to B = Join Domain
A to C = Trust relationship error
The only way for us to get around this error is to disjoin and rejoin the domain from the (C) location.
What is the reason for this, and how can I make it so that I don't get this error from any location regardless of when the computer was joined to the domain originally?

Does each site have it's on domain controller & DNS server?
Do you have the 3 separate subnets entered into their own site under Active Directory Sites & Services?
Have you checked the system logs for domain controllers at each location? Any problems, especially with the file replication service or directory services?

Does each site have it's on domain controller & DNS server? - no
Do you have the 3 separate subnets entered into their own site under Active Directory Sites & Services? - they are all on the same subnet
Have you checked the system logs for domain controllers at each location? Any problems, especially with the file replication service or directory services?
Is the DNS entries for each site all pointing to a DNS server hosted on Active Directory at site A?
they are all on the same subnet

Is it subnetted as a class A or class B subnet that includes all 3 sites?

devinnoel: each site gets directed to the DNS of Site A
How are the subnets listed in Active Directory Sites & Services?

Adding the reverse lookup zones for each site's subnet appears to have resovled the issue.
