2 different nameserver addresses.

[robburne at hotmail.com]

Hi,

I am hosting a website on my own server. I'd like to provide an
alternative namserver address in case my server goes down.

Is it possible to supply two different nameservers in the domain name
configuration, so that if one goes down the 2nd nameserver is used ie.

ns1.myserver.com

ns2.anotherserver.com

Does this work in practise, if not what will happen.

Thanks in advance.

Rob.
