The idea of a secondary DNS server is that if the main server goes down
(or the whole subnet), people can still reach the rest of the *.postgresql.org
domains (especially the mirrors). It also looks as though there are still
no secondary DNS servers set up for postgresql.org, where "secondary" means a
server not in the same subnet or geographical area. It would be nice to
see another server set up; myself and others have an outstanding offer
to help do this.
