What do you masters suggest?
I have 3 dedicated servers with diffirent hosts (2 linux and 1 nt). How should I manage the DNS entries. I mean should I keep the DNS for each server within that server, or should I use only one server as DNS for all the three?
Which one is better for DNS linux or nt?

I would definitely say, use both Linux boxes for DNS, one primary, the other onw secondary.
OK. Can you also please clarify the concept of 2 diffirent DNS servers. Do I need to make the DNS entry in both of the servers?
What, if any modifiaction is required in the zone file of a particular domain name. Should it also be done in both the servers.
Thanks

What do you mean by "Clear the concept"? You have to have two DNS servers, one primary and one secondary. You have to set both DNS servers with the same zone files.
Once you update a zone file in the primary DNS server and you restart it, it will update the secondary one automatically, if you st it as slave.
Can I use Linux (with plesk installed) as primary, and the windows server as secondary server.
Thanks again

I would always recommend using Linux boxes for DNS. That's just my opinion on the subject, though.

Nothing wrong with using Windows as a secondary, or even a primary DNS server.

Like RackMy.com said I never had a problem with windows doing DNS. We do use FreeBSD now but when we used windows to do DNS never one problem out of it. Never failed or any thing. DNS is one thing that seems to work great in Wndows 2k.
