You also need to make sure that you have the forward lookup records in your DNS on the existing server for _msdcs/dc/_tcp. This will contain a SRV record for all DCs. Read the following article on how to verify the creation of SRV records in DNS Server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241515/EN-US/

Strangely enough….for some reason, my first domain controller was not setting up the A record for the child domain. I added the A reocrd manually and everything worked.
