Thanks, Gerald... for making my point more clearly than I did. Yes, all
our nameservers are "masters" in that respect, but we only make changes
on one of them, which we call our master. The others, that get the
files, we call slaves.
Yet, when our clients register domains with, for example, Network
Solutions, they register one of our "slaves" (or public "masters" if you
will) as primary, and another as secondary.
