'ldap.intern' and 'ldap' are resolvable on the system (and on clients in the network) via ping without problems.

For a config example, please look below.
Also see Bug here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039966

'''
tjener dhcpd[138165]: Cannot find host LDAP entry tjener (&(objectClass=dhcpServer)(cn=tjener))
tjener dhcpd[138165]: Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
'''
This error message gets printed if using 'ldap' for ldap-server. Using 'ldap.intern' works.

There is also a bind9 instance running which has an
'tjener.intern. A 10.0.2.2' and 'ldap.intern. CNAME tjener.intern.' entry.
