I think what General is getting at is that if you can define a primary and secondary DNS, you may as well define 2 different providers just in case one goes down.
We've seen enough VM DNS issues to know that Virgin's DNS can go down while leaving the rest of the network intact. It just makes sense.
Or to put it another way, the key point is what I've highlighted. That's a big "if".
