help with using one domain name and nameservers on different servers please

[fcmgadmin]

I want to use one domain name just for nameservers. The nameservers need to point to different servers.

e.g. domain name myservers.com

server 1 hostname one.myservers.com
ns1.myservers.com
ns2.myservers.com

server 2 hostname two.myservers.com
ns3.myservers.com
ns4.myservers.com

server 3 three.myservers.com
ns5.myservers.com
ns6.myservers.com

I need it so that if one server was to go down the nameservers would still work on the others. I am unsure if clustering is the best way to do this and if so, what is the best way to set the clustering up or if there is a better way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would recommend you to have 2 separate servers for name servers and then host websites on separate servers. For example:

server 1 = ns1.myservers.com
server 2 = ns2.myservers.com

server 3
server 4
.
.
server n

for hosting websites. All the websites hosted from server3 onwards will use ns1.myservers.com and ns2.myservers.com. The DNS will be clustered i.e. whenever a domain is added on any of the server, the DNS will be created on ns1 and ns2 server as well.

Agreed with proposed idea from madaboutlinux
It is essential that you place your main domain across multiple servers for DNS at the very least such as:

myservers.com:
ns1.myservers.com
ns3.myservers.com

server one: one.myservers.com
ns1.myservers.com
ns2.myservers.com

server two: two.myservers.com
ns3.myservers.com
ns4.myservers.com
