So i'm a little confused why it's failing on the 03 DCs and really cant find anything on Google that is helpful with trying to fix it or what to check other than nslookup for bing this is the results from bing nslookup

Server: scdc03.sumtercountysc.org
Address: 10.0.0.16
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: bing.com
Address: 204.79.197.200
Anyone have an idea on this?
I'm running these test because I'm starting to prepare for upgrade my AD to 2012 R2
