DNS record in "_msdcs" missing

Asked by Jean-Pier in Active Directory, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: _msdcs

I have a cluster with active directory (windows 2003 R2)

all event viewer are good, no errors, no warnings... so everyting is good... but..
When I look in the DNS, forward lookup zones, domain.com, _msdcs, I only see one of my DC. cluster1, but nothing about cluster2....

I try to find out on google and I found the command netdiag /fix and I have errors...
I try to add manually the record in _msdcs and ran the netdiag /fix again... same errors
here is the resualt:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.DOMAIN>netdiag /fix

what can I do to solve that issue?
