If I transfer a Web site between hosts, there is always downtime while the DNS resolves.

But what if I were to set my secondary DNS to the new host. a week before the transfer?

My DNS would either be found at the old host or the new one, and the domain will resolve to either the old servers or to the new ones?

Does my reasoning hold?
