set up first child DC in a remote site

Hi experts,
I am planing to set up a DC in a remote site. The new server is alredy
sitting in the new site.
This DC will be the first DC in this site and will be a child domain of the
existing domain/forest.
This DC will also run AD integrated DNS service for the domain
childdomain.parentdomain.local.

Could any one tell me what is the sequence of actions I need to do to achive
this goal, or guide me a documentation?
Below is my thoughts:
1. setup a VPN tunnelling between two firewalls in two sites;
2. on the DC of parent domain (the current domain), create a new site and
linked with a new subnet for the remote site;
3a. on the new server at remote site, add the DC of parent domain into the
HOSTS file and add the new server into the HOSTS file on parent DC, so that
name resolution can work both direction.Or if this does not work
3b. on the new server in the NIC TCP/IP settings add parent DC as primary
DNS (it's AD-integrated).
4. on the new server at remote site, on which basic windows server 2003 R2
is installed, run dcpromo and select first DC of a child domain and wait for
the AD installed. (the AD is not very big and has already extended to R2
schema)
5. wait for 15 minutes or 1 hour and check the site replication

I guess with step 3b the AD installation will most likely to be successful.
However, I am not sure whether the DNS will work as we want.
Should I do anything on the parent DC (integrated DNS) for the child domain
before or after runing the dcpromo on the new server?
Will this dcpromote automatically install the DNS service on the new server?
If it does, with the NIC primary DNS points to parent DC will this DNS
service work and get DNS replicated? What time should the NIC DNS point to
itself?

Thanks in advance!
