I think that the problems you have may be DNS related and you need to
check both the DNS servers themselves and the client configurations.
You mentioned that you had corrected issues with the pointer records.
This should not be necessary as the clients should register these
dynamically. You should check that this is being done properly. The
domain controllers are themselves DNS clients and it is imperative that
they register their services correctly.
The first rule of Windows administration is 'Look in the event log' both on the DCs and clients.
Also run dcdiag. Tell us more about the set up. e.g. is DNS AD integrated, client configuration etc..
Windows networks are very stable when set up properly. Unfortunately they are often not.
Good luck
