What are your plans? Are you looking to set up a separate Organization? Then set it up as a new orgnization within the forest. ForestPrep is the answer.
Are you looking to get an Exchange 2000 server in the existing 5.5 organization? If so, it will require joining the organization and the configuration of the ADC to update Active Directory with the Exchange 5.5 accounts. There isn't any way around that since Exchange 2000 doesn't have the ability to read the 5.5 directory. You can still manage your existing accounts in 5.5 if you like. You can even control the ADC not to update AD with the account information. But it requires the Site Replication Service to communicate within the same organization. If these aren't your restrictions, please give more information.
