It does not seem clear to me if you mix the internal network and the external network with regards to the 2 server requirement. Everything inside your own NAT is your own responsibility - you can use any number of DNS servers you like - 0, 1, 10, n. For the rest of the world to see, two servers ar

Thanks all. Chris, Anand that's very useful to know, sorry Jeff and Philippe, your interesting suggestions wont work in this case. If I attack the problem from the other way down instead, the fact my current registra doesn't allow me to add PTR or DNAME records to my top level domain limits what e

Sorry if this is slightly off-topic I've just discovered that the TLD where I've registered my domain requires a minimum of 2 nameservers for any subdomain, which is very sensible but I happen to have a special case on my hands. So I'd like to register a new domain elsewhere where they will all
