Yes it is possible to swicth the roles, BUT: if you do not have network
connectivity between your offices, what is the purpose of installing a DC in
the branch office? All DCs in the same domain, and, even from the same
forest, need to replicate information with each other, which would be
impossible without network connectivity.
