Just to check, should the 'nameserver' entries in /etc/resolv.conf on the DCs be...

nameserver 127.0.0.1
   or
nameserver 192.168.0.218

I have it as the latter - taken from the Wiki... "On your DC, set the AD DNS domain in the domain and the IP of your DC in the nameserver parameter of the /etc/resolv.conf file."

In fact, I have it as...

search companydomain.com
nameserver 192.168.0.218
nameserver 192.168.0.219
