I think what you need to do is this:
Set up your second server to accept mail for the domain ns1.mydomain.com
by editing /var/qmail/control/locals and adding ns1.mydomain.com to that
file on the second server. Then on ns1.mydomain.com edit
/var/qmail/control/locals and remove ns1.mydomain.com from there so that
mail for that domain will now be regarded as non local mail. Then set up
an mx record in your dns pointing ns1.mydomain.com to the second server
say
ns1.mydomain.com. IN MX 10 ns2.mydomain.com. or alternatively you can
attempt direct smtp delivery by editing /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
All these instructions are in /var/qmail/doc/FAQ
