DNS primary and secondary receiveing queries at the same time

[Roberto Carna]

Dear Tony, so you say that it's impossible what I want...

In this scenario that my two DNS servers respond queries at the same
time, suppose the primary server goes down....how do clients know that
they have to query the secondary DNS server at this moment?

Thanks again.
