Brent, we are very seriously considering omiting the primary/secondary
nameserver setup from the configuration. We are certainly recommending to
some customers that they leave those settings blank, and you should
consider doing the same.
The name server in the e-smith server should be capable of resolving all
names, but when configured in "forward only" mode as it is when a primary
nameserver is configured leaves name resolution subject to 1) correct
setting of the upstream ISP, and 2) competent configuration of the name
server by the ISP.
