Your post was excellent, thank you!! This is a great point. My ISP where I
co-host has been doing my secondary DNS, but your point makes sense. I
guess the only thing is - is the ISP is down, it is likely I am as well;
from a DNS standpoint.

I would appreciate your thoughts on that - if my RAQ and its primary DNS
are up, but Internic has a secondary DNS in place of my primary #, and that
secondary is down, do browsers (or whatever the mechanism is) *know* to
look at the other DNS server or do they just report a server not found error?

Thanks again,
Danny
