Some basic AD/2003 setup questions.

Sorry for the newbie questions. I am helping convert a Netware 6.5
network to windows 2003. I have set up two MS2003 DNS servers and
they are functioning. I am getting ready to create a first AD DC.
1. The company doesn't use DHCP at this time. They have about 300 PCs
and use static private IPs. This helps identify users to their
accounting package. After reading several books, I can't tell whether
AD requires DHCP. Is it necessary?
2. They have one main office(275 users) and one small office(20 users)
connected via WAN/T1. My thought is there should be 1 Domain with 2
OUs(one for each location). I would therefore think you should have
20 DCs in each city for redundancy. Is this the right way to think
about it?
3. The first DC will also host a data directory share. It is hoped
this will get the admin department's feet wet. This shouldn't be a
load issue should it?
Sorry again for the newbie questions, but I've also only worked Novell/
UNIX. I'm sure these will be the first of many from me and my friend
at the company.
