Secondary DNS and PIX

this is a continuation of thread
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs&mid=239d5d0b-6f53-40b0-987b-91852de49498.

I replaced and updated the pix with the latest OS and patches and installed
on the network and I still have the same problem with the pix locking up.
But in my troubleshooting I noticed that my DNS counters for "total query
received" and "total responses sent" were maxed out at 100. My questions are
as follows:

1.) any idea what the counter should look like for an SBS DC that is
running DNS that has about 70 clients on it?

2.) How can I add a secondary DNS server to the SBS network, and how to I
configure it to offload some of the DNS burden from the DC? I currently have
2 additional W2K3 machines that I could configure for DNS.

Thanks for the information, assistance and options in advance.

Scott
