Event id 13508

I'm getting the following event 13508 on a couple of my domain controllers
when they are tying to replicate. This occurs first followed by 13509 which
says it was successfull after several retries. I have ran the ping, nslookup
and such and it doesnt come back with any errors. Anyone have any ideas on
this?

The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from
BBAMSERVER to MAINSERVER for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name
bbamserver.internal.brianbemis.com. FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.

[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name
bbamserver.internal.brianbemis.com from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on bbamserver.internal.brianbemis.com.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has
not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.

This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem
is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the
connection has been established.

I did see this one before I posted. It states not to worry about it if it is
followed by 13509, which it is. My only issue is it pretty much always
throws the two 13508 followed by 13509 everytime it tires to replicate.
According to what I see it is working it just has trouble the first try. I
just want to get the logs cleared up so I dont have to see this.
