Unfortunately they are correct. I have both my NS on the same server right
now. I do need to get a different NS2 DNS for the backup.
Think about it.
NS.YOURSITE.COM=  64.95.2.79 This is your RaQ. The primary DNS.
NS2.YOURSITE.COM= 64.175.3.79 This is the backup server on a different
server, hopefully not on the same "Leg".

Your servers primary connection to the net dies, your server automatically
looks for the secondary DNS (server) for a connection, which is supposedly
on a different leg to the net backbone.
You lose your only connection to the net if they are both set on same
machine. No backup.
