ACS 5.1 - Can't contact AD server, slow TACACS auth response

Running ACS 5.1 appliance, and am seeing slow repsonse on TACACS authentications due to the ACS trying to reach overseas AD servers and failing.  Is there any way to configure a /etc/host/ file locally on the ACS in order to force the appliance to use specific AD servers for authentication?  As I understand the process currently, the ACS appliance will query the top-level domain and get a list of all the AD servers in DNS.  In my case, this would include the AD servers overseas that we do not want to use. Can anyone suggest a workaround for this?

rolandgentile.

i had the same problem with authentication in AD overseas,  talked with the guys from AD and they managed a way to configure a round robin selection for only selected Domain controlers with high wan bandwith connections.

hope this help
