In DNS there is no concept of a "primary" and "secondary" name server.
All of the name servers listed in the NS records for a zone are equal,
and any can be used to handle a DNS query (assuming, of course, that
each server has the zone properly configured).  BIND will use the server
that has the shortest response time, but I do not know what other DNS
implementations do.
