stop one of the nameservers! /etc/rc.d/init.d/named stop
or ndc stop
will stop one of the nameservers. Then attempt to access the site.
Really, just doing dig @ns1.nameserver.tld web.site.tld and see if
you get the correct data.
Then test the second nameserver the same way
dig @ns2.nameserver.tld web.site.tld
