DNS Servers should be very reliable, since they mostly just read a UDP packet, update the local data store and send a UDP packet. Excess load causes UDP packet loss.
DNS servers can be configured in parallel on different hosts, so load is spread and failed servers are skipped. One is master and the rest get their domain data from it over tcp.
