Well, I certainly hope I'll never have to work with that consultant.
What an idiot I have to say - the whole _point_ of having two name
servers is providing _redundancy_. What happens if your primary goes
down or becomes unreachable for whatever reason? What do you do then?
There is good reason most registrars require two name servers to be
entered. Try a Google search for "free slave dns service" and you'll
find a bunch of companies that would most likely be willing to help
you out. Granite Canyon and Secondary.com are two that spring to my
mind right away.
