How to create redundancy for a DNS server within a domain?

I do have my primary active directory and a secondary
active directory in my domain. My primary AD contain also
the DNS server for the company. What I would like to do
is to create a contingency plan, in case, my primary AD
goes down. If the AD goes down it will also will take the
only internal DNS in our domain. How can I create a
redundant DNS server in another computer to avoid this
problem? Please advise and thank you for your help!!
 
Hello Robert,

On your secondary Domain Controller, simply install DNS on the machine and
you will have a redundant DNS server (as long as you have AD integrated DNS.

How do you create a AD integrated DNS? Is there a paper I
can read about? Please advise. Thanks again.
