The only diference between a primary and secondary name server is where they get their data. Primaries read it from files they trust, secondaries read it from primaries. The order of listing in the InterNIC records means nothing. If you are a registered namesrever you are authoritative for that domain. Clients do not know about primary or secondary. Conversely, if you aren't listed in the Nic's database, you don't exist. No one else will see you. If you set up your own rouge name server within the company it will not "leak" cause no one will ever look at it. This is all in the book, I don't think you read it very well.
