on master and slave DNS servers

[t s a d i <ch4di@yahoo.com>]

hello all,

    with reference to the example bellow;  will it matter if
ns1.secure.net and ns2.secure.net are just slave servers to some other
DNS server ?

    that is, its /etc/named.conf will only contain something like :

  zone "cproda.com" {
         type slave;
         file "cproda.com.db";
         masters {
                 123.123.123.123;
         };
  };

    of course, the dns server 123.123.123.123 will be a fully working
master domain server for zone cproda.com.

TIA,
Chad
