This is true, but no longer the case since other nameservers are now
setup.

Not to split hairs here, but this statement isn't necessarily true.  If it
read "Both nameservers on the same physical network" then it would be
true.  I've worked on systems that each of the 2 NS glue records were
actually /32s located on multiple servers around the country.  So even if
part of the network was down, multiple servers are always reachable.

Now lets return to our regular programming
