Yes and no; here we go again <wry grin>...

For example, we've got a master server "inside" our firewall.  It's
completely private, and it's the server we continually update manually. 
It gets reset often, as you might imagine.

All the DNS servers the public sees get their zone files via ftp
transfer from this private server.  At least two servers must be listed
with the registrar.  Though neither is the master, and both are slaves,
most people can/will continue to think of one as the primary and one as
the secondary.

Or in other words, our ns1.ns-one.net and our ns2.ns-one.net can both be
slaves, but we'd still think of ns1 as the primary.
