No.  How else do you think you would advertise the availability of another
nameserver?  Why do you think the fact that your server has a public IP
address would be an issue?  I have a feeling there's some details you're
leaving out that might have an impact (maybe ns2 has a private address --
if so, you shouldn't advertise it in public DNS).
