If these are external DNS servers, you probably have zone files for each
domain. Make sure you have setup a "slave" entry on your secondary for
each domain. Contact your Registrar (Verisign, TUCOWS, etc.) and update
the primary and secondary DNS servers to reflect their respective IP's.
If your primary fails to respond, the outside world will know how to
access the secondary.
Look into the DNSSEC and allow-recursion functions of BIND to help
increase security.
