Don't know enough about your situation, but I would suggest that you keep whatever domain structure you have already set up intact by upgrade and promotion on the other boxes: let them use the present AD DC to join the domain, and then promote the new machine to the master AD DC (global catalog, pdc emulator, etc, roles) and demote the old one after that.
