Yes, you should already have something like this in case the main/master 
server would fail.

DNS is about domains not subnets.  If each subnet was going to have it's own 
domain then the answer could be 'yes'.

The ones that ship with the Bind package are good from what I understand.  I 
have not looked at them so I cannot say one way or the other.  If you are 
looking for a good book on the subject I would highly recommend O'Reilly's 
DNS and BIND 5th edition.

How large is this domain and how many domains are there going to be?
Is the DNS server going to be updated automatically or by hand?
