Easily you can create a secondary zone on the other box, let the transfer
happen, then point all your clients to the new box, then make the zone a
primary.

Is this new box going to be a DC?
If it is run DCPROMO on it and let DCPROMO install DNS, if your other DC has
AD integrated zones, you don't have to do anything, all zone data will be
replicated to the new DC.
 
is there a way to transfer the DNS srv without go over all the clients
and change the DNS address?

Or just switch the DNS server address to the old one.
