All you really need to do is install DNS on the remote DC, the zone will
replicate through Active Directory to the remote DC, without further action
from you. (Provided zones are stored in Active Directory) Once the zone has
replicated then you should add trhe remote DCs address for DNS on both DCs.
(And members for that fact)

Two IP addresses?
Can you clarify this, because you should only have one, then your router
will take care of the routing, provided you have set up static routes .
