AD FS Across Differing Domain Functional Levels

-

my customer needs implement ad fs single sign on due cloud based email solution implemented. problem is, domain controllers server 2003 (non-r2) @ functional level of 2003 mixed mode. should able raise 2003 native if necessary however. solution create new 2008 domain , implement a two-way trust, running ad fs in new domain serving clients in 2003 domain.  way should quicker upgrading current domain rather large project due size , complexity. 

are there gotcha's should know doing way?  have verified can create two-way trust between domains of these functional levels, , ad fs can service clients in trusted domain, not entirely sure if ad fs care trusted domain 2003 non-r2.  can confirm if feasible scenario? 

thanks much!!
