OK, so actually I do not believe I understand what you're asking about.

The best I can figure is you're saying that you currently have a single 
nameserver, but it's running on 2 IP addresses.  And you want to put 
secondary service on another server, which has a different IP address?

If that's the case, and I'm understanding you correctly, then you will 
do something like this:

1. On the existing nameserver, go to your Network Services > DNS > 
Advanced Settings.   Under "Zone Transfer Access by IP Address", put in 
the IP address of the new secondary server.  Then save.

2. On the new nameserver, which you want to be your secondary, go to 
Network Services > DNS.  Make sure DNS service is enabled.

3. Click Edit Secondary Services.   Select to Add Secondary Service > 
For A Domain.

4. In "Domain Name" put the domain.  In masters, put the IP address of 
the main nameserver that it should slave from.  Click Save.

5. When you are done, click Save.

Now your secondary server will slave all of the configured domains.
