When I tried to created a DFS root from the member server, I get following
error.

"The following error occured while creating DFS root on server
xyz1.xyz.com: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be
contacted."

I doubled checked the entries in the dns and everything seems to be right.

My sniffer says
(query)
171 930.515870 192.168.1.243 192.168.1.248 DNS Standard query SRV
_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.XYZ.com

(response)
172 930.516894 192.168.1.248 192.168.1.243 DNS Standard query response, No
such name

I am assuming, the information that display is correct based from the
sniffer. I am still scratching my head. Why could this be? DNS entries are
accurate. I can use nslookup to query the names.
 
I forgot to mention that servers are all win2000 and I used Wireshark to
get the information.
