Secondary server
Refers to an authoritative DNS server that receives domain/zone information (that is, the DNS resource records it is responsible for) by requesting this information from the primary server for the domain in a process known as a zone transfer. The main reason secondary servers were invented was to lower administrative burden. In other words, the administrator only has to maintain the primary server, after which the zone transfer mechanism ensures that the secondary servers are automatically updated.
