The second node connected to a twin-tailed disk. This node assumes control of local access if the primary server fails.
A name server that will be used in addition to and as a backup for the primary name server for a domain name.

Back econd Level Domain Name In the Domain Name System (DNS), the next lower level of the hierarchy underneath the top-level domains. In a domain name, that portion of the domain name that appears immediately to the left of the top-level domain. For example, the nsiregistry in nsiregistry.net.

a host for a secondary zone
a server that is not designated as a primary server
An authoritative DNS server for a zone that is used as a source for replication of the zone to other servers. Secondary masters only update their zone data by transferring zone data from other DNS servers and do not have the ability to perform zone updates. See also master server; zone transfer.
This name server will be used in addition to and as a backup for the primary name server that is listed on the Domain Name Registration Agreement. Also See Server, Name Server, DNS

On Nic AG's Domain Name Registration Agreement, the section where the registrant indicates the hostname and Internet Protocol (IP) number of a name server that will contain authoritative data for the domain name being registered and will resolve that domain name to its corresponding IP number(s). The designation of "secondary" indicates that the name server will be used in addition to and as a backup for the primary name server that is listed on the Service Agreement.
Refers to an authoritative DNS server that receives domain/zone information (that is, the DNS resource records it is responsible for) by requesting this information from the primary server for the domain in a process known as a zone transfer. The main reason secondary servers were invented was to lower administrative burden. In other words, the administrator only has to maintain the primary server, after which the zone transfer mechanism ensures that the secondary servers are automatically updated.
