I use Tom's approach -- set all the secrets the same on
all my NAS' and then use a default client statement. It
will protect you any which way.
As for DNS, you should have a primary and a secondary and the
chance of both failing should be slim.
You can always set several DNS entries on your
UNIX host's /etc/resolv.conf which point to off-site DNS
servers such as your upstream ISPs DNS servers.
Hope that helps.
