Cisco vWLC translating domain server issue

I have a Cisco vWLC on my domain I've configured and got my first three APs connected fine. After a certain amount of time I plugged in a few more APs but for some reason they can't connect to the controller. I've tried four more APs to rule out a hardware issue, none of them can find the controller.

After some research I set option 43 on my DHCP using the hex code for my controller's IP address, that didn't fix it either. Below is a log capture of the entire start up of an AP.

Any help is appreciated.
