Usually 4 servers:  one at my work, one at home, and two at
backupdns.com.

Currently, the two at backupdns.com have corrupt records, so I have
dropped them for now.  As soon as I get that squared away, they'll be
back.

If anyone wants to 'secondary' the zone, let me know off-list, and we'll
work out the details.

As to multiple NAPTR records, Mark is correct:  we can make multiple
entries.  I'll have to re-read my BIND documentation, but I believe that
the 'named' server will respond with all records, if the querying end is
capable of accepting more than one record, and responds in a round-robin
method to those querying clients that are capable of accepting only one
result.

Can anyone confirm or debunk this?

I made a multiple "A" entry for robin.ckts.info.   The "dig" query
returned both. The second 'dig' query returned both in the opposite
order:
