Replication to Dissimilar Domain by Using of Configuration Management

By setting of DISSIMILARPOLICIES to ON it is possible to set different policies on source and target site of replication.
But this dissimilarity is however referenced to the domain of source site.
Actually if your node on the target site belongs to one other domain as on the source site replication process will set by start
the domain of the node on the target site to the value of the source site. 
It is bad situation if you have a big farm of server instances like us and reliant on Configuration Management.
In this case you need to break your Configuration Management (DELETE PROFASSOC ... to Profile with replicated domain)
or set a secondary configuration manager instance for target site.
Today you must choice between replication with dissimilar policies and Configuration Management 
It would be nice, if in the future will work both together and it will be possible to  
make replication to one other domain like IMPORT/EXPORT processes.
