	This is a really, really bad idea.  Remember when Microsoft, MSN, 
and Hotmail were taken down, because they had two separate 
nameservers that happened to be on the same network?  You're talking 
about something even dumber, by putting both virtual nameservers on 
the same machine.

	This is just about the worst possible idea you could have. 
Especially since there are plenty of places out there that will give 
you *FREE* secondary service, so that you run your own primary 
nameserver and they run nameservers that hold a copy of your zone and 
act as "slaves" to your "master".

	Moreover, your ISP should also provide free secondary service for 
your zone, so you should be able to get at least three different 
servers for your zone, including your own "master", a "slave" from 
your ISP, and a "slave" from one of the free secondary DNS providers.
