I try to create a domain-based namespace but when I hit "next" on the "choose type wizard page" I get the message:

The namespace cannot be queried. The RPC server is unavailable.

I found one article regarding this problem, and indeed the DNS resolution of the DomainDNSName was flawed. But although I fixed this DNS issue, I still get this message.

A stand-alone namespace can be created.

Any ideas how to solve this problem? Is it possible that this is related to the fact that I'm using a single-lable domain name?
