The reason why there are primary and secondary DNS addresses is for redundancy. If the first (primary) DNS server cannot be accessed for host resolution the secondary DNS server address is used as a fallback. Usually your ISP or preferred DNS host would provide you with both.
it is a small personal code for your computer and other home appliances you can find it by clicking run on the start menu then type command and press enter then type inpgof. hope you find what you want from Michael gumbo
1. Press Start (bottom left) + Run
2. Type in the run window "cmd"
3. Type in "ipconfig /all" (there's a space after ipconfig)
4. Look at DNS Servers (near bottom).
It means, you do not have secondary DNS server.
Secondary DNS gets its records from the Primary DNS Server. The secondary DNS is essentially there in case the primary DNS doesn't respond.
False. The DNS records cannot be added directly to the secondary DNS zone. The secondary DNS zone can receive the updated records only from the primary DNS zone of the DNS server.
A second DNS server helps in synchronization of DNS data from primary to secondary.
On a computer running a Windows operating system, you can find your DNS Server Address by clicking Start> Settings> Network connections. Then double click on Local Area Connection. Now click the properties button and select Internet protocol. Click on properties and find Preferred DNS Server.
In Windows operating systems steps - Go to run type cmd press enterC:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig/allafter execute this command you will get all information about dns
Secondary zone When a zone that this DNS server hosts is a secondary zone, this DNS server is a secondary source for information about this zone. The zone at this server must be obtained from another remote DNS server computer that also hosts the zone. This DNS server must have network access to the remote DNS server that supplies this server with updated information about the zone. Because a secondary zone is merely a copy of a primary zone that is hosted on another server, it cannot be stored in AD DS.
Often, DNS servers that are authoritative, or primary, for specific zones also function as slave, or secondary, DNS servers for other nearby zones. This permits hosts in one zone to gain access to DNS data from those other zones.

I believe 3 types of dns 1)Primary and 2)secondary and stub zones .
start > run > type 'cmd' > then type ipconfig /all. list of numbers should show. Thats for windows... I doubt that will work on a MAC..
