All,
I recently had a case where an unscheduled data centre outage caused my cpanel/whm server to go down. My other server which hosts several sites lost all dns services...
I have seen this post from ages ago:

it has no replies but essentially states the same case as I am interested in.
Can I use a dyndns service as a secondary name server for my zones such that if my main host goes down I don't lose the ability to resolve the names on my other server?
The Dyndns zone information section says this:
Sorry to be a bit dim but DNS is still one of the great arts that I am a very lowly apprentice at!
TIA

Is this anything I can or need to do with the cpanel or do I simply have to go to the domain registrar and add the delegation to the zone there?DNS Zone Activation
This page shows you information regarding DNS service status.
Your zone, "thedomain.com.au", has been pre-activated. Your zone file will be loaded onto our nameservers within an hour of pre-activation. Once your domain is properly delegated to us, we will mark the zone as active. (If you pre-activated your zone more than two hours ago, you may delegate your domain to our nameservers at any time.)
Your domain delegation does not include required ns2.mydyndns.org nameserver.
We recommend to include ns3.mydyndns.org, ns4.mydyndns.org and ns5.mydyndns.org nameservers to your delegation list to ensure global distribution of your DNS data.
Sorry to be a bit dim but DNS is still one of the great arts that I am a very lowly apprentice at!
TIA
