Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprice: Joining my existing domain

I attempted to join my existing domain with this server being a member server, and received a message:

An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify that this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain.

I actually know how to fix this, I think... when configuring IP addresses, I didn't put the local address of my domain controller in as one of the DNS possibilities. Once this change was made...it worked.
