13.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dc01.test-server.lan.

/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 10.0.0.13
search dc01.test-server.lan

On the first dc I used internal samba for DNS.  On the second dc, I pointed
to the first for DNS.  Do I need to run an additional DNS server?  I'm able
to resolve internal and external hosts.

I tried to mimic the wiki so SAMDOM = DC01 & DC1 = DC1 & EXAMPLE.COM =
TEST-SERVER.LAN just so I can keep everything in order because I was
getting confused with all my other attempts.  I want my domain just to be
test-server.lan and then DC01 would be the first and FSDC02 would be the
second but just to get this working so that I understood, I tried to mimic
the wiki.

I wanted DC01 to be test-server.lan so host test-server.lan and host
dc01.test-server.lan would resolve the same and fsdc02 would resolve to
fsdc02.test-server.lan and dc02.test-server.lan.
