Nope. Since it doesn't apparently answer for your domain it wouldn't. When
queried, if it was authoritative, it should have had the same info as
web.ozdns.net. Instead, it just pointed to web.ozdns.net as authoritative.
It responds with the same info that just about any nameserver would. I'm no
expert, but if your other DNS is down, I'm not sure how much good
ns2.win.co.nz would do for you since it has no info. What I just noticed was
that it does respond properly for www.sea-view.net but not for sea-view.net.
--- DNS lookup for "www.sea-view.net", please wait...
--- contacting nameserver: ns2.win.co.nz [210.55.230.1]

www.sea-view.net	A	64.65.10.49
www.sea-view.net	MX	20  www.sea-view.net
sea-view.net	NS	web.ozdns.net
sea-view.net	NS	ns3.win.co.nz

ns3.win.co.nz	A	209.123.221.169
web2.ozdns.net	A	64.65.1.33

--- dns lookup completed

Since it doesn't respond for "sea-view.net", (I'm no DNS expert), I don't
think it would help with email if the other network was down, unless the
mail was addressed name@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
