We currently have an exchange 5.5 server that we are going to migrate over to
exchange 2003. My question is along with this new exchange 2003 server we
would like to add a second server. This second server will be part of a
different domain. I believe we will have to setup a trust between the 2
domains but what else would need to be done. Do we just need the same site
and organization names and then the 2 exchange servers can replicate or is
there other steps? I know the easier way is to have a cluster for the
servers but Our parent company wants to do it this way. My company already
has our own AD environment setup. The other company has there own setup. We
wanted to configure just the exchange servers to replicate information in
case of one server is out of commision. Is this possible and if so, what
needs to be done? Thank you.

This WONT work unfortunately. You will need to be in the same AD
forest/domain. You will also need to install the Exchange server into the
same org as well (not just a new Org with the same name).

Typically people that find themselves in this position usually migrate the
domain to the same forest first as either a child domain or another OU.

Not sure how big your environment(s) are, but it will reduce both companies
administration costs in the long run.

As far as Geo-Clustering goes you may consider holding off until Exchange 12
is released.
