+A NameServer that is authoritative
for a particular DomainName
, which means that anything
it doesn't know about that domain, doesn't exist. Authoritative name servers are listed in
NS lines
in the initial part of
the zone file.

of them out at the same time.
+The two kinds of authoritative name servers are [Primary|PrimaryNameServer] and [Secondary|SecondaryNameServer].
