Gerald is correct, but please setup secondary DNS on a separate machine,
ideally a machine at a separate physical location. Otherwise DNS for your
domains will be prone to a single point of failure. Many ISPs provide
secondary DNS for free to clients and if automated zone transfers can be
setup between your name server and theirs it's nearly fully automated.
