Not sure of your overall environment, but as long as there are no overlapping IP addresses and your IP scheme is OK, you shouldn't have a problem with 2 domains on the same wire. Ideally you should segregate by VLAN, but that may not be an option in your situation. What I'm not following is this:
put in a temp server at one of the sites, add it to the others domain and use this as an onsite server which we will use to allow us to add the workstations to the domain Can you provide some more detail surrounding this? If the goal is to add the workstations from the new site/domain to your existing domain, then a server at that site is not necessarily required. Were you planning on this being a domain controller? Once the VPN is in place you should be able to migrate the workstations from the new site/domain to your existing domain. What volume of machines are we talking about? How many sites?

Our plan is to put in a VPN between the two networks and then put in a temp server at one of the sites, add it to the others domain and use this as an onsite server which we will use to allow us to add the workstations to the domain. My concern is that the current server at that site is an SBS 2008 box and I'm not sure how that will handle having another server, running as part of another domain, on the same network. Does anyone know?
