hmm, were you expecting something else from a down NS? :)))

50% of queries should go to each authoritative NS by default, since
neither one is primary or seccondary to the outside world.
Your secondary isn't seeing any queries, independent of the whether
the primary is up or not?
A resolver trying a dead NS should time out and then try the other
NS(s) until it finds one that's working.
