All the servers for a domain normaly have to serve the same data.  
Otherwise, you'll get unpredictable results -- if someone asks server1, 
they'll get one answer, if they ask server2 they'll get a different 
answer.  So unless this is what you actually want (perhaps to implement 
some form of load balancing), you need to keep all the DNS servers in 
sync.
