With DNS, logical and physical separation is very important, especially for us. For example, we manage DNS for some clients who have their web site with us, but they run their own e-mail system at their office. If our data center were to lose connectivity for any reason (not that it should, but plan for the worst), then having both DNS servers there would cause e-mail delivery to our client to be affected even though we don’t house or manage their e-mail service. Having secondary DNS off-site mitigates this possibility to ensure as many services as possible can continue to operate.

Excellent post, Justin! I can corroborate most of it from experience. Also lots of good refresher pointers, and the benefit of physical and logical seperation of authoritative DNS servers is something I hadn’t considered. Thanks.
