site completely down but other sites available

i am running a win2k domain with three sites. there are three dc's in each
site with replication setup between all sites. i recently had a dc that was
unresponsive due to cpu/memory usage and it appears the netlogon and
replication of this machine had stopped responding as well. this appeared to
have some affect on the other 2 dc's in the site as well. all users at that
site could not login and the mmc for ad users and computers could not be
initialized. I am wondering what would have caused such a debacle when the
other 2 dc's were not having any issues other than talking to the third dc.
also can't users go to a dc in another site if there are issues with dc's in
there site? it does not seem to make sense that a site can be completely
taken down this easily. any info is much appreciated. thanks!

You have problem because your netlogon service is not running and the GC is
not reachable. You need to find out why netlogon is not started (or stopped
with some reason). Try to use nltest to troubleshoot.

For event 1079, there is not much info. You may be running out of virtual
memory, or you may have other problem such as memory leakage. Try to enlarge
your virtual memory and see.
