Sounds good.

> Ns2.abc.com <http://ns2.abc.com/> 192.168.1.2

I assume you are using non-routable private addresses as an example?

Then add the domain as a secondary for DNS on 192.168.1.2

If both of these servers are BlueOnyx machines, you could put BOTH virtual sites on either server, or one on each, as you describe. BlueOnyx servers can host many virtual sites at the same time, all on the same IP address.

Domain records require a minimum of two name server records, and the easiest way to keep these synchronized is having one dns server a primary server, and a second as a secondary server pulling the zone file from the primary.
