I was wondering, what are the actual rules for nameservers? Some people say that they should be in IP pairs on the same class c, whereas others say they should be globally dispersed. Then there are others saying that both DNS servers should point to the same machine on different IPs. Will someone please tell me which combination for this is correct.

The link above has a question and then a fairly detailed answer that seems to go beyond the question with regards to what are allowed and what the rules are for nameservers.

Hope that helps
