What you are trying to do is like making your car work still while you take
the engine out and work on it.
If exchange goes down, outlook will go spastic. You can try to configure it
for off line mode, which wont scream as much, or go to out look 2003 which
works beautifully if the exchange server goes off line for a while.
Making the secondary DC a GC is needed or else it is useless if the main ad
server, which is a GC be default being the first one, is down.
The secondary server should also be the clients secondary dns server, this
will keep them functioning for name resolution also.
The most important thing is, don't take the server down during prime work
hours.
