Auto site coverage will take care of this (assuming 2003+) provided the site link costs are setup correctly.
Or the subnets can be added to a hub site for a manual way of achieving the same.

AIUI, if you don't link a subnet to a site to with a DC in it, logons (workstation and user) in that subnet will randomly connect to any site that responds, and there will exist the potential for some random weirdness that will frustrate folks. If I were in your shoes, I'd choose a site with a DC that has a relatively high capacity link between it and the orphan subnet, and make the orphan subnet a part of the that site. But, someone with more experience will probably chime in with better advice.
