DNS server(s) for zone

Can you create more than one DNS server for a zone?  Domain has only one
zone.
I already have one DNS server on the NW5.1 box and want to add another
DNS server on the OES2 box and later retire the NW5.1 box.  I do not
want to perform a migration at this time.

Have already performed data migration from NW5.1 to OES2 box and
converted all ndps printers to iprint.

It is generally recommended that you have at least two DNS servers in case
one goes down.  One is normally setup as a primary server the others as  
slaves.  The slaves will sync with the primary server.  Look at the
documentation for BIND.
