Sorry for the cross-post, but please post to one list only.
The reason you have two name servers is so that you can turn one off and
still have one.
Ideally, they'll be widely seperated so that there is no single point of
failure that will shut both of them down.
I don't know how to do that with just one IP.

Subject: RE: 2+ nameservers sharing 1 ip?
how is it not legal?
while irrelevant, one of the reasons is so all the domains i have using
nameserver x and nameserver y are effectively both using nameserver x.
they already are -- i don't see the need to waste ip space and various
other resources.
-tcl.
