OK.

No, no useless configs I'm aware of.  Just trying to give the "outlying 
slaves" a second place to go, should the real master be busy, i.e.

masters { IPofserver1;
	  IPofserver2;
};


Our architecture is sub-optimal (among other things, hardest hit of all 
public servers is the master) and this is one more step towards getting out 
from under that.

I'd love to have a master that wasn't even a published DNS server, but 
we're not there quite yet.

Thanks!
