Thanks for the reply John.

Based on the guide, I added the following SRV records to my BIND server:

_ldap._tcp.differentialdesign.org. IN SRV 0 0 389 node1.differentialdesign.org.
_kerberos._tcp.differentialdesign.org. SRV 0 0 88 node1.differentialdesign.org.
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.differentialdesign.org. SRV 0 0 389 node1.differentialdesign.org.
_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.differentialdesign.org. SRV 0 0 88 node1.differentialdesign.org.
_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.differentialdesign.org. SRV 0 0 389 node1.differentialdesign.org.

But I am getting the same thing.  I did the 'dig' as stated in the guide to ensure I had the presence of correct DNS entries.  Do you see something that I am missing?  Below is the output of my dig:

%dig @ns1 -t any _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.differentialdesign.org                                                                              
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3 <<>> @ns1 -t any _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.differentialdesign.org
