Some domains are being read off the secondary DNS instead of the primary DNS first

(1) There is no preference associated with name server records.

(2) Even if you specify a specific order of presentation on YOUR name
    server, it will NOT be passed on to other name servers that might
    cache your zone's information.

(3) To a resolver, there is no such thing as primary/secondary or (in
    current terminology) master/slave.  All name servers are peer name
    servers.
