One of the main reasons a DNS server would fail is because it is unable to generate a socket. Remember that a socket is the IP address plus the port. The default port for DNS is port 53. Be sure your bind address is the same as the IP that you want to listen on and that no other application has hijacked the DNS port. In my case, I run CCProxy and it had a check mark in dns under proxies. Therefore, my Active Directory DNS server was unable to function only allowing cached logins and slow login times on the network. This is where a secondary DNS server will come in handy when I get my virtual environment up and running. I simply disabled the DNS feature in CCProxy and tada.. Windows DNS was up and running again after a quick restart of the service.
