Why do you need more than one domain? It is almost never necessary and only causes problems. Use Sites and OU's instead. Set up the AD there that you want in your own office later, and do it on Win2003 servers, the benefits are huge, w2k3 is what AD should have been to start with.

When you are to install the new DC in your office later, just ask the other dudes to do a system state backup to file, e-mail it over (or remote control it all yourself or whatever), after you've set the new site up (your office) in AD. Then use that backupfile to restore/import the whole existing AD to your site. This way you'll have the whole domain (with the two sites) synced in notime.
