You can easily turn a slave into a master. Just go into its named.conf
file, change "type slave" to "type master" and comment out the "masters
{...}" clause.

Subject: Master server offline
Our master server machine had a drive failure and looks like it will be
offline for some time. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought I
remembered that something bad can happen to the dns resolution for your zones
if the master is offline for too long. Is there anything to this or am I just
dreaming? As long as the secondary can answer request, we should be ok?
Cheers,
Dave
