Also.. Would we publish all dns servers in the DHCp?

If you are trying to coexist, the best bet is to make secondaries of each
others' domains in each others' DNS servers. You can then choose yours or
their DNS. If it is on your physical LAN, of course I would choose yours.
You will of course have a copy of their zone so their client can find their
own resources.

And no, I wouldn't specify all DNS servers in DHCP Option 006. That is way
overkill and frankly they may never see past the first one in many cases.

Do you need a two way trust? Ask yourself if your clients are accessing
their resources and vice-versa. If yest to one or the other or both, then
that would answer that question and indicate which way to make the trust.
And Forest trusts are DNS based and must be Windows 2003 in 2003 levels.
2000 levels you are stuck with specfic domain to specific domain NetBIOS
trusts. You will need to make sure WINS is partnered with each other. A good
reason to start with for a trust anyway!
