Old SQL Cluster to Join a New Domain?

Hi. In general terms, what would be the steps to have my
SQL2000 (on W2K OS) 2 node-clusters join a new domain?
They are member servers authenticating with a W2K DC on
their subnet, but we would like to install W2003 on that
DC (bare-metal NO upgrade, due to past history of AD
replication issues on that W2K DC. It's now the only DC
on it's own subnet, with very old AD info it. We figure
a clean install of W2003 with new clean domain would be
better).
Thanks.
Last time I did this, I just went into Windows, ignored the message that
popped up, and changed the domain name for each machine. (I stopped the
entire cluster first.)
