This question might be more suitable for inet-access, but it's down, so I'm resending here: Silly question: If you have a customer who is doing their own primary DNS, but you are doing their secondary DNS (on 2 of your name servers) for them, is it better practice on your 2nd DNS server to xfer the zones directly from the customer's primary DNS server (a second secondary DNS server) or xfer it from your first server (the customer's secondary server) doing "true tertiary" DNS? Or should the tertiary use multiple masters?
My hobbiest setup pulls from multiple masters. Not much point having multiple servers if a little network partitioning (which happens all too often) will stop your servers from communicating.
