    I see this in allot of machine setups.

 port411.name.net. 86400 A  nun.113.nun.202
 port978.name.net. 86400 A  nun.113.nun.203 (nun being part of the number
scheme)

    I understand ports are assigned to services, so are the these IP
assignments set for those services use.

Is another way of running multiple Name Servers in on physical machine ???
    I've been told by one so-called "guru" his operation runs 4 masters & 4
slaves
on 2 machines. is this possible & practical ???
