I have two domain controllers - PDC (172.17.100.100), ADC (172.17.100.101)

My DNS configuration is as follows:

On Primary Domain Controller:

 *Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1*

 *Alternate DNS: 172.17.100.101*

On Additional Domain Controller:

 *Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1*

 *Alternate DNS: 172.17.100.100*

Is this correct.?

    Above is not correct. Use (at a minimum) the server own static ip address plus loopback 127.0.0.1 listed for DNS.
