dual primary dns server

[Don Buchholz]

Do these servers support the same domain or two different domains?

If you support only a single domain, then you probably want to make
one of the servers a secondary server.  

If you are supporting 2 domains (one for each network) then you'll
probably want to make one of the servers "forward" all unresovable
names to the other server.
