Can you post the full details of the event, with the ipconfig /all, and the
results of netdiag /test:dns /v ?

You may have some corrupted data in Active Directory for this zone. Here is
how to clear this up,
point both DCs to one for DNS. On the server that you are using for DNS, on
the properties *** of the _msdcs.mydomain.com zone, click the change
button next to the zone type, and deselect the option to store the zone in
Active Directory. This basically deletes the zone from AD without actually
deleting the zone, but it will remove the zone from DNS on the second DC
(The one you did not make the change on) Verify the zone goes away on the
second DNS server, If it does not, delete the zone (not the Primary, but the
one on the other DC with the AD integrated zone)

After you have verified the zone is fully gone from Active Directory, change
the Standard Primary back to being stored in Active Directory, and wait for
it to replicate to the other DNS server. Do not manually add an Active
Directory zone on the second DNS, because you could end up with conflicting
zones or with the one you add overwriting the zone already in AD.
