I have 2 DNS servers, one is the primary and one is the secondary, how can
I tell which one is the Primary DNS server and which one is the secondary.

Open up your DNS mmc interface. Right Click the
Click to expand...
properties tab on your foware lookup. From here select
the zone transfer tab. From here you will be able to see
if it is the primary. You should be able to click the
notify tab to see the secondaries. Note however if you
are running AD integrated zones there are no primary and
secondary zone. They all contain writable copies as
objects in DNS which replicate along with AD replication.

Hope this helps

Inasmuch as the terms apply, they apply to individual "zones",
not to DNS servers.

Inspect how they are configured.

Actually inspect how the zones are configured.
