When is a secondary nameserver hit?
- by Evan Carroll
Take this scenario:
domain: foobar.com
ns1: 2.2.2.2
ns2: 3.3.3.3
My question: Is ns2 hit just in the event that ns1 is down? Or, is ns2 hit any time that ns1 returns a miss/doesn't resolve the query? I know ns2 would be hit if ns1 ever went down; but, what if ns1 is up and just doesn't have the data?
