Various issues due to DNS

Greetings, experts!

I have the following structure in my organization:
srv1(named PDC): DC, primary AD, DHCP, DNS, Exchange 2007, separate public IP
srv2(named BDC): DC, replica AD, ISA2006 internet proxy, separate public IP

Each of the servers has separate internal and external IP addresses. Internet connection comes via a single ADSL connection, and ISP provides 8 IP addresses.

Here are the issues I have in my environment possibly because of the DNS:
--Most of the group policies don't apply due to errors in connection to DC. Everyone can login correctly, but the event log says that user PCs cant find DC.
--Replication between the two DCs doesn't work correctly.

Could you advice me what to correct in my environment based on Dcdiag and Netdiag outputs?

attached are "dcdiag -v" and "netdiag" files for both servers. Please let me know if you need any clarifications.
Many thanks! bdc-dcdiag-verbose.txt

In your case the ISA is your Firewall,...or it should be anyway.  If you aren't going to use it as that then you might as well uninstall it and use the server for something else useful.

Do not install ISA on a DC unless it is being used as a Single-Nic Web Caching Only Proxy  (which is pretty much a waste of time).   The only other exception of running ISA on a DC would be with SBS Premium (limited to ISA2004 packaged with it) which is a spcially designed product to work in this manner, but no other "regular" DC should have ISA on it.
