I'd be more inclined to use the one database for both sites during the transition period. My favoured method when doing this is to set the new site up with a datasource pointing to the old database back at the old server. (They're more likely to be accommodating since you're bringing business to them)
Then when your domain name is fully delegated around the net (it takes 4 days to propagate it fully) then copy the database to the new location and switch your datasource on the new location. Then you only have to deal with changes that might happen during the 30 minutes or so you're goign to take getting the database copied and connected.
