It will do that automatically. If you have 2 servers serving the same
data and both are properly delegated, then if one fails the other will
continue to answer the queries. Actually, the client resolving
nameserver will contact one in random order and then ask the query.
If this fails it will wait for a few seconds and ask the next server.
Apart from the small timelag there won't be much effect.

With warm regards,
