requirements to access AD security groups

Hi

While creating an audience I can either enter a rule regarding an
existing user or else a security group in ActiveDirectory.

If I create a rule regarding a user, it's required to import users from
AD to 'Sharepoint Profile Database' first. Am I right? That was well
done, so no problem occurs while adding a user individually to an
audience-rule. But when I try to add a whole ActvieDirectory security
group following error-message is displayed:
'The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted'

So what are requirements to add a whole security group to an audience?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Michael
