I understand the suggestion of use Static vs DHCP reservation, but
think we are getting off the topic here. I ensured that DHS
information is correct on all 2008 servers and subnets were in proper
Sites withing sites and services. What is baffling is that the site
with 2008 domain controllers are not experiencing this problem.

BlueIT,
Earlier you said you created an AD Site, but there are not domain
controllers in the Site. Is this true? A site is designed to control
replication and logon/authentication traffic. If there are no DCs in a Site,
it will be useless. If there are no DCs in a location/subnet, create an IP
Subnet Object(s) for that location, and associated wtih a current site that
does have a DC in it to offer DC services.
Also, you indicated that the FSMO roles are still on the 2003 DCs and none
on the 2008 DC(s). It's highly recommended to move the Schema Master and DNM
to a 2008 server. Also the DNM should be a GC.
It's also recommended that all DCs in a single domain to be GCs.
One more thing, and I'm not sure if this was discussed in any other threads
that you have going. If any DCs have DNS installed, and the zone has
populated/exists in DNS on those DCs, it's recommended to point to itself as
the first entry, and a replica DC in its own site, or another site.
The requests for an ipconfig /all from your DCs allows us to evaluate your
DCs' configurations. Also would be helpful if you can define your Sites,
their associated IP subnet objects, as well as if any of the DCs are in a
site.
Otherwise, to help will be basically based on generalities, which may and
can be misunderstood by both sides, and may not result in a resolution. I
mean we can do our best and quote best practices and general principles, but
knowing specifics help because every network/infrastructure is unique.
