could somebody help me out on this one i can't figure it out to?
there is no difference between a primary and secondary DNS server except that in normal operation the primary is the one that is tried first if that dosent work then the secondry is used, just list any 2 of the 3 you have as primary and secondry
This differs a little bit from operating system to operating system but I will assume you are working with Windows. If so then click on the Windows start button on the bottom left side, then in the search bar type "cmd" and then hit enter. This should open up command prompt. Then in the black window that opened up you should type "ipconfig /all" There look for something that says DNS servers. There will be an ip address listed right by DNS Servers. The first one listed is the primary, the one directly under it is the secondary and so on. There are also some websites that are able to detect this for you, but I would learn the command prompt way because that offers you a lot of tools and capabilities.
Also if you are unsure as to how to use a command then you could type "help" and that will bring up a bunch of commands. If you want to learn about the command and the different switches, or options available with them then type the command followed by a "/?". For example if you would like to find out more about the ipconfig command then you would type: ipconfig /?
This would display the options available with that command.
Happy networking to you:)

A DNS server that's primary for one DNS database zone also can be secondary for one or more other dns database zones?
Often, DNS servers that are authoritative, or primary, for specific zones also function as slave, or secondary, DNS servers for other nearby zones. This permits hosts in one zone to gain access to DNS data from those other zones.
How do you find Secondary dns?
The reason why there are primary and secondary DNS addresses is for redundancy. If the first (primary) DNS server cannot be accessed for host resolution the secondary DNS server address is used as a fallback. Usually your ISP or preferred DNS host would provide you with both.
Where can one find more information on a secondary DNS server?
On a computer running a Windows operating system, you can find your DNS Server Address by clicking Start> Settings> Network connections. Then double click on Local Area Connection. Now click the properties button and select Internet protocol. Click on properties and find Preferred DNS Server.
