Active Directory Restructure Question

My company is planning to do a restructure of our Active Directory Domain.
Currently, we have one domain, let's call it us.test.com. We also have
multiple non-AD DNS Domains that we have non-member Windows Servers. These
DNS domains are prod.test.com, dev.test.com, qa.test.com, staging.test.com,
etc. These are seperated by different subnets, and seperate firewalls so
that traffic does not flow between them. Traffic is independent among them.
We would like to create a new domain, let's call it test.com and then create
sub-domains underneath. We would recreate the us.test.com, and then create
prod.test.com, dev.test.com, etc. as AD domains. We will have administration
at the top-level. We are looking to do this for better adminstration and
also due to the fact of us have UNIX and LINUX servers in the environment to
be able to use tools that allow the AD domain account to be able to login to
the UNIX and LINUX servers. Is this the right way to do this, or is there a
better way? Let me know if you have any additional questions.
