I've had a good amount of experience with setting up DNS on NT servers, however I'm rather new to the setup on 2003 servers. What we have right now is one NT server running our DNS and domain at our main location. We've just opened a new facility - we have both building tied together with a T1 circuit. What I've done is I've set up a 2003 server at the new facility that will handle the new facilities domain, dns and dhcp. The majority of the computers at the new location must access computers up at the main location. Thus far I've setup the 2003 server on the same subnet farming out a separate scope of IP's of course. What would be the most ideal way to set this up?

Backup everything, upgrade nt to at least w2k, if not w2k3. Make both servers dc's, then syncronize them. If you want to remove the old nt box, you can run dcpromo and demote it to a member server. (The nt box is your pdc, correct?)
