New Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller

I recently added the first 2008 R2 Domain controller to my domain....  I have the computer pointing to itself for dns at 10.0.0.16..... The only way I can get dns to come up is to enter an additional dns server of one of the other domain controllers, at which point it works.....  I would appreciate any help with this issue.....

thanks






event ID 408

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      DNS
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      404
Date:            9/2/2012
Time:            10:57:25 AM
User:            N/A
Computer:      computer.domain.local
Description:
The DNS server could not bind a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket to address 10.0.0.16.  The event data is the error code.  An IP address of 0.0.0.0 can indicate a valid "any address" configuration in which all configured IP addresses on the computer are available for use.
Restart the DNS server or reboot the computer.

I also get Event ID 408.....

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      DNS
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      408
Date:            9/2/2012
Time:            10:57:25 AM
User:            N/A
Computer:      computer.domain.local
Description:
The DNS server could not open socket for address 10.0.0.16.
Verify that this is a valid IP address for the server computer.  If it is NOT valid use the Interfaces dialog under Server Properties in the DNS Manager to remove it from the list of IP interfaces.  Then stop and restart the DNS server. (If this was the only IP interface on this machine and the DNS server may not have started as a result of this error.  In that case remove the DNS\Parameters\ ListenAddress value in the services section of the registry and restart.)
 
If this is a valid IP address for this machine, make sure that no other application (e.g. another DNS server) is running that would attempt to use the DNS port.
