: What happens if the secondary ns record contains a record not present in the primary ns record? Will this record be used by internet services or not? I'm moving the ns records from one server

Will this record be used by internet services or not?

I'm moving the ns records from one server to another while keeping the site on a third webhost.

I do not have control on the primary nameserver so I added a second record in the domain zone file. Both name servers have the same a, cname and mx records. But I added a TXT record to the secondary name server. Do changes in the secondary record get used only as a backup?

Your second nameserver records are only used if primary nameserver cannot be reached, so it is only a backup.

Actually your second nameserver is configured incorrectly. It should use zone transfer feature to synchronize data from your primary nameserver, so that the data is always correct.

You should really use a primary nameserver you can control.
