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.
