Explanation
Since the issue is selective - only remote sales team users are affected, not all users, and the infrastructure is confirmed healthy - the problem is most likely related to how those users' traffic is being routed based on their geographic location. Geolocation routing rules (used in DNS services, CDNs, or load balancers) direct users to different endpoints or resources based on where their IP address resolves to. If these rules are misconfigured, users connecting from certain regions or through VPNs with unexpected exit points may be denied access or redirected incorrectly. Application load balancers (A), ports/protocols (B), and IP addressing (C) would typically cause broader or more uniform failures, not selective ones tied to a specific user group's location.
