Perhaps. Perhaps not. I run ns1.devilsplayground.net and
ns2.devilsplayground.net, that's all fine and dandy until a charity
organization came to me and asked me to host their DNS for them. No
problem, except that they don't want "devil" in their WHOIS lookups.
As it turns out, I had a spare IP on ns1.devilsplayground.net so I just
created ns1.<another of my domains>.com and used that. I didn't list two
name servers (That are on the same host) anywhere on any domain, all my
domains use one OR the other. I also have offsite backups for my important
domains, just in case.
