this may not work with your particular flavor of *nix but you can put each
of the nameservers in the /etc/resolv.conf as
NAMESERVER <ip of dns a>
NAMESERVER <ip of dns b>
it will check both of them to find the host.
it is probably possible to setup named on the box an add the ip's of the 2
name servers to the root cache file.. but then anyone doing dig on the box
will get the ips of the 2 name server.
