First off, is there any reason why this is a bad idea?  I was under the impression the connection was encrypted.  The connection is only used on an internal network or via VPN.

I have to killall -HUP DirectoryService to get it working again, and it *seems* like I have to initiate a connection from Workgroup Manager on the server itself before I can get my laptop to connect.  It finally does, but this repeats on a regular basis.  Just wondering if anyone has any insight to this.  Server Admin tools on laptop & server are both the latest, server & laptop both running 10.6.6.  I'm using the FQDN in the address of WGM, & I've tried a local admin account, the diradmin account, & my AD account, all of which have admin privs on the server.

Likely you have bad DNS as a start. I know you think you're DNS is perfect, but I seldom see it. If you're using split horizons or views or VPN'ing in I am close to certain.

Second, looks like you have a Kerberos problem. Again perhaps due to bad DNS. And it's likely you're golden triange is messed up too, again, perhaps due to DNS.

So, you can /prove/ your DNS is good?
