Disaster Recovery - Failing over and back - Losing publications

Hello,
I am wondering what I am doing wrong or if what I am seeing is normal
behavior.
I have manual log shipping in place (via SQL LiteSpeed).
We have a replicated database log shipped to a DR server in another
location. When I fail over to the DR site, I can still see the publications
on both sites (however the DR site is not set up for replication). When I
fail back to the main site, I lose replication for the database and all of
my agents fail upon restarting them.
Has anyone run into this and come up with a solution?
We have to fail over to the DR site next weekend for building maintenance
and I don't want to have to rebuild replication.
Thanks so much.

You might want to restore your databases with the keep replication switch.
