Create a domain controller inside of an existing domain with dc

I have a 2003 network setup with a PDC and BDC. I need to setup another DC to use with DFS, but I don't want the newly created DC to affect my existing DC or have any control over the existing network. How can i segregate a portion of the network to do this?

First, in an Active Directory environment (ie: 2000/2003) there is no PDC and BDC. This terminology (and type's of controllers) are from the NT 4.0 world and no longer apply.

Second, why do you think you need to make this a DC? From the sounds of it, you'd be better off just making it a standalone server within the domain.
