Sorry to touch basics but ....

Is your record of the form?

_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.com IN SRV 0 100 389 <PDC server>.mydomain.com

and port 389 is open on server 

It was a long time ago I set this up... but I do vaguely remember something 
anout DOMAIN names, and PDC names needing to map onto DNS server names and zone 
names, but my memory may be playing tricks :-)
