Secondary Nameserver

[Kevin Darcy]

Technically speaking, there is no such thing as a "primary" or "secondary"
nameserver; only "primary" or "secondary" zones (actually, "master" and
"slave" is the prefered terminology). Any given BIND nameserver can be a
master for some zones and a slave for others. The differences lie in the way
you configure each zone{} clause in the named.conf file.

Note that, to other nameservers, and to the world in general, there is no
difference between "master" and "slave" nameservers for a given zone. The
difference only matters to and between the specific nameservers involved.
