My question is: Should the NS (authority) records in the subdomain-zone file be the same as the ones our other ISP has chosen - or can I add extra secondaries to the zone and put them in here myself. Will nameservers cache this information on previous lookups in case my server and the secondary our ISP have chosen both go down? I guess the same applies to domains which you get from Internic... but it's easier to get Internic to make changes than our ISP. Thanks for any future feedback.
