adding DC on different subnet

Currently running W2K3 AD. I have a remote office which connects via VPN
tunnel. The remote office is on a class C subnet 192.168.150.0/27 and are in
a local workgroup relying on LMHOSTS to connect to main site. Our main AD
site is B class 10.226.0.0/24.
I need to install aW2K3 server at the remote site and want to make it a DC
to ease delay times , etc.
Do I need to configure a new site via 'AD Sites & Services' entering the
sunet of the remote office on the main AD or can I rely on LMHOSTS to point
to our main AD when I run DCPROMO?
What do I need to do to enable this?

TIA

Before you DCPromo the new DC, it must use only the DNS server for the AD
domain, after it is promoted and the zones have replicated to it, then it
can be used for DNS. No, I would not rely on LMHOSTS because SRV lookups
cannot be done.
