Active Directory Site Limitation?

Is there a way to limit the automatic collection reports to a specific AD site? My issue is this:

2 physical sites, seperated into AD sites. a PDQ inventory/Deploy box at each site. I have started using Auto-Deploy packages for Java/Flash, and attached it to the dynamic collection of "machines with old versions or non installed" for those packages.

Problem is that sometimes a machine in Site A will be sent a package from the PDQ in site B, going over the WAN. It sometimes works but mostly fails. I'd love to make it so Site A machines to go Site A PDQ, Site B to Site B.

I hope I explained that correctly. I'm open to moving around or changing whatever is needed.

simple enough. Site A PDQ inventory machine should be set to only sync the AD OU with Site A computers.

Site A will not deploy to site B, because it will only know about the computers in Site A.

The only issue could be if IP address's are being assigned to both sites with the same subnet. It may try deploying to a machine that has had its IP change via DHCP.

Makes sense. They are in different subnets, so thats no concern.
