Hi, Like you say yourself you can use your ISP's DNS. If you wanna use your ISP's DNS take a look at the traffic DNS lookups will generate and the bandwith you have to your ISP. That's something that can be thought of not to use your ISP's DNS.
Do you use public adresses inside your DMZ or private adresses with NAT on your firewall? Cause if you use private and you don't want to setup a DNS in your DMZ, which for two servers might be overkill, it might be easier to use the HOST file on each machine with the private IP number. Just my 2 cents, but I'm looking forward to what more experienced people have to say about it.
