Actually, master and slave has little (read "nothing") to do with whether the domain resolves. What's relevant are the delegation records pointing to your domain and the authoritative records for the two servers. In a normal, straight-forward setup for one master and one slave, both servers would be listed in the authoritative data as well as the delegation records within the delegating zone, and if one server were down, the other server could be found
and queried.

Hi,
This morning the slave in our nameserver setup went down and surprisingly none of the domains hosted on these system could be resolved anymore even with the master working perfectly fine. When I send queries directly to the master it resolves the domains fine so I'm not sure why a failure of the slave leads to a total failure of the service.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this behavior?

Regards,
