If your an admin you should seriously go on a training course :-), or buy some books!!
one of the two DNSs is sufficent for your site to show up on the net again, your toplevel requires two to start a domain, but once it has found two it should work with one from then on... You might want to think about getting some real DNS service from someone or hosting a DNS box, if you are truly making money off this it might be worth some investment,,, however I suspect one of those is your primary DNS the one with the zone records on it, and if the backup hasn't got a copy of those zone records on it, the words creek paddle and up come to mind..
