The internet, at large, will always use your primary server. If it

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. To quote Professor Harold
