2 forests, same domain name, same network, what i need to be careful ?

I would like to know the impact if 2 separate forest (2003 server) in the same network have the same domain name?
The impact is it the same if i have 2 forest with the same domain name on 2 differant subnet and i route the two subnet to communicate each other?

the main concern is that i want to recreate a new Active Directory forest with the same Name, so user will not be affected by the change (no local profile to copy) because the actual AD Structure is too bad i have to restart all from scratch ( actually 4 DC AD 2003 ( DHCP + DNS)+ 2 SQL all on the same class c subnet ) and i want to put only 2 DC with DHCP & DNS with windows 2003, SQL and exchange Server 2003 as member server and not at the same time DC as actually + a file server and finally a production server in a new class b subnet. It is possible for me to have some maintenace periode but never more than 8 hours a week for the server.
