You won't be misrepresenting the primary/secondary relationship, as you =
are never presenting this to the world anyway.
Primary/secondary is a purely administatively distinction, which has =
nothing to do with which nameservers you present to the world. The =
primary is just the one you are maintaning your zone file on; the world =
has no way of knowing (or at least cares not about) which one it is.
You could even have only the secondaries listed and online, as long as =
your primary is online once in a while to keep the secondaries knowing =
the zone is still valid.
