Here it goes:
Domain Name in AD Users & Computers is: dhs.local
My only foward lookup zone on both dns servers is: dhs.local
Reverse zones: 0.10.in-addr.arpa,0.in-addr.arpa,127.in-addr.arpa,255.in-addr.arpa

Since I created the two dns servers and pointed them to each other,
some computers are having problems seeing the two dns servers
(10.0.0.1,10.0.0.254), they can see the gateway (10.0.0.4) fine.

I am still getting these errors when I do netdiag (i removed passed
items)
