The internet, at large, will always use your primary server. If it can't, it'll try your secondary server. Both of those servers are accessed by name, not numerical IP address, and those names have to be in some public DNS records, so people can find the IP addresses for them to connect to them.
No. DNS servers are always accessed by IP address, never by name. Trying to access a DNS server by name would just create an endless loop of trying to resolve addresses as you can't get the server's address without using DNS to get the IP address.
