1 server is sufficient. The DNS stuff hardly imposes any overhead.
My domain provider also requires 2 dns servers to point to my domain. As my
website is primarily for family and friends and therefore not mission
critical, I have simply defined two dns servers in my bind configuration,
both pointing to my single public ip (dns1.mydomain.com and
dns2.mydomain.com). Those "two" servers are listed with my provider.
If you really want to play safe you should have 2 different and external dns
servers.
In my case it is quite simple: As I run apache and bind on the same physical
machine, it either works or not! So if dns is down, my webserver and
mailserver is also down, so who cares about dns and vice versa? ;-)
I have an adsl connection (including unlimited data throughput) from one
provider and my domain registration from another. There are no particular
benefits from using only one provider for both services.
Best regards
Jan
