Hello!
I'm working at a company called Com Hem AB in Sweden, we are at the moment the biggest cabelnetwork company in Sweden.
I have a question that concerns the hardware in the server that should be a primary DNS (even the hardware on the secondary DNS could be nice to know about).
What I wonder most about is, should the primary DNS be build with a RAID-system? Or is that not importent of the fact there is a secondary DNS?
Respectfully,

The secondary DNS is important because the primary from time has to reload its database. During that time it wont answer any queries. So the sondary will play it role for that short time. The same goes for the secondary when it updates its database from the primary. When running, bind does not use the disk at all. Only for logging, loading and updating you need a disk. I have seen bind running from ram disk or flash.
