How many NS records should be in the 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa zone?

D&B does NOT say that.  It gives an example, in which there are two (2)
NS records instead of 1.  It makes no statement why it does so, or
whether you should use 1 or 2 or N, N > 2.

I realized today why that might be.  Some systems start other network
aware programs before 'named'!  ;-?  If they cannot reach their own
local 'named', they might be able to reach the other one.

Maybe I'll change mine to point to two servers, now.  ;-}
