I have set up PfSense as a router and I have linked two Windows Servers to it. I can ping from SERVER01 to SERVER02 and PfSense can also ping to them. The problem is, on SERVER01 I have set up the Active Directory with domain johann.nl, now I want to add SERVER02 to the domain in that forest.

The error given is: "No records found for given DNS query." with error code 0x0000251D. When I execute nslookup it returns pfSense.localdomain with the IP address I set up. Do I have to edit the PfSense domain, or isn't that necessary? How should I tackle this?

In addition to mfinni's answer, I would setup Server01 to be a DNS Server for your domain, and point your DHCP server (I'm guessing PFSense) To hand out that address for DNS. Having Windows manage it's own DNS for services such as AD will greatly reduce your headaches in the future.

This is Active Directory 101 - AD clients have to be using a DNS server that has the records for the DNS domain being used by AD. In most scenarios, this/these DNS servers are also domain controllers, but they're not required to be. They simply need to hold the zone that contains the DC-related records. These have SRV records for LDAP and Kerberos, and also point the domain name to the domain controllers.

Sounds like you have Server02 not using a DNS server that has these records. Either use a different DNS server, or put the correct records into the DNS server.

/Edit - read all of this link before doing anything else. What is Active Directory Domain Services and how does it work?
