worse than pointless, its ugly. in the event your server is down and
not responding, a lookup server will try it 4 times as many times as it
otherwise would.
the only NS records that should be in your zone are exactly the same as
the ones in the registrar for the domain.
$ whois obrien-pifer.com

I'm surprised the registrar let you register two HOST names for the same
IP, they aren't supposed to do that.
