If you have a secondary nameserver, there's no reason you can't add it as
well.

Yes, assuming you have network connectivity. Take a look at
/etc/resolv.conf for an idea on how it works..

Any chance you tried this before you posted your question? :) It
currently works by default. Simply tell your users to create a
public_html directory in their home directory, and put their local files
there.

Two weeks? Buddy, this list moves quick. Two hours and perhaps you might
have a problem :)
