I would like to install a Universal Group Membership Caching domain
controller at a site.

Why?

Do you have more than one LARGE domain in the forest?

Is your WAN line very slow compared to the size of the
the Forest?

Do you not have a GC there already for some domain in the forest?

We are AD Integrate DNS, will the configuration
partition, speficically related to providing DNS be available on this
machine? I woul dlike to ensure if the site becomes available, not only
can
users continue to logon, but also continue to resolve via DNS.

That will work if you make the local DC(s) DNS Servers and
provide either UGC or just make them GCs.

Unless you have multiple domains with a VERY LARGE one
not represented in this site by a DC and have a slow WAN there
is probably no good (sufficient) reason to avoid the GC.

If you have a single domain (or small forest) then every DC
should be a GC anyway (and then there is no need for UGC.)
