You're confusing DNS servers and web-servers, Paul. Just because we run
them on the same computer doesn't mean they have anything to do with
each other.

DNS has NOTHING to do with web-pages. Secondary DNS will get updated
from primary DNS servers automatically.
If you want to create a secondary webserver the method is quite
different. You need to have the secondary DNS server actually be a
primary DNS server with different IP#s, and a machine that updates all
sites (wget, run from a cron-job, would work).
We're looking at creating this option as a commercial product.
