Have you tested any of this in your lab? Installing E2K into your production environment without any testing is um... sub-optimal. DNS does not need to be installed on the box Exchange is installed on, but E2K absolutely needs properly functioning AD and DNS in the environment to function properly.
There are a number of good whitepapers, and there's a brand new book by Jim McBee on E2K.... I think you're still heavily in the research phase and ought to save potential implementation questions until after a few weeks of serious reading.
