      Its completely worthless till your nameserver blows up and your sites are down as well because your too stupid to have a backup.

              2 nameservers on the same server is pretty much pointless yes.

                  I can see why you would want it if you are merging servers. It's easier to change the ip of nameservers than it is to change the nameservers of hundreds of domains. I may have to do this cuz I'm lazy and don't wanna do it the right way :-(

                      Wilbo, if you didnt manually enter in the IP for the nameservers in your registrar you dont need to update each domain, just update the nameservers with the new IPs, and everything should forward over... of course, do one nameserver at a time so that the sites are still up while one is changing over.. etc
