I promoto a DC in my LAN before moving it to a remote
location to use as a remote DC. Of course, the IP
addresses need to be changed from one location to
another. I have been doing this with all my remote DCs
since the beginning, but it has been suggested that the
best practice is to create the DC with not just the
permenant name (since you can't change it after the
promotion anyways) but also the permanant IP address.
This would require I promoto the DC over the WAN which is
contrary to MS docs suggesting I promote in the LAN as per
a reply I recieved from another question I posted:

Does anyone know of any MS articles or documentation to
support the suggested practice?
