Understanding DNS, Create an "Failover"



Hello,
last weekend my primary DNS-Server goes down, and some of my server
can't find each other.

I have a Primary and a Secondary DNS-Server using bind9.
The resolv.conf file looks like:

nameserver <MyPrimaryDNS>
nameserver <OneOfMyISP>
nameserver <2'ndOfISP>

For understanding:
Is the secondary DNS just a backup of the Master for "loadBalancing"?
What does the secondary DNS do if master is down?

How can I fix this?
