Problem getting 2003 server set up as domain controller

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I already have a w2000 server on a small network that is a domain
controller. I just added a w2003 Standard server and made i part of the
domain. Now I want to configure it as a second domain controller (essentialy
as a backup domain controller for the w2k one on the same domain).

After I select to create a second sever for an existing domain, and enter
the existing domain's user name and password I get a message saying an
Active directory domain controller for the domain.XXXX could not be
contacted. Ensure that the DNS domain is type correctly ( it is)

clicking help I get

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location
(SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
domain.xxxx
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.xxxx
Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV records required to locate a domain controller for the domain
are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server
automatically when a domain controller is added to a domain. They are
updated by the domain controller at set intervals. This computer is
configured to use DNS servers with following IP addresses:

204.101.251.2
204.101.251.1
192.168.1.10

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child
zone:

domain.xxxx
xxxx
.. (the root zone)

Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
