FWIW, I choose b) when I had to make a choice.
One machine is DNS primary server for all my domains and the
other is DNS secondary and mail server.

CPU usage? It should be virtually nil.

[seyman@ns1 seyman]$ uptime
  3:03pm  up 84 days,  3:41,  1 user,  load average: 0.05, 0.03, 0.00

The increase in load-average is because I use ssh on my machines
and generating keys and comparing them uses CPU resources.

This is a Pentium 150MHz with 64Mo RAM.
It's DNS for 130 domains.

I'ld recommend putting DNS on a server that does only that.
