I assume the computer account later on still gets replicated to the
other DCs.

If you want to target a specific DC when joining use the NETDOM tool
and target a specific DC (thanks Dean)

NETDOM JOIN Joins a workstation or member server to the domain.

machine is the name of the workstation or member server to be joined

/Domain Specifies the domain which the machine should join.
You
can specify a particular domain controller by entering
/Domain:domaindc. If you specify a domain controller,
you
must also include the userâ??s domain. For
example: /UserD:domainuser
