Whats the purpose of having 2 different Name Servers?

EX-

NS1- NS1.GODADDY.COM
NS2- NS2.DREAMHOST.COM

From my understanding... Is it that if NS1 is not responding, or is down, would NS2 take over??

I have no idea and I never really questioned it. I guess i may be alternate locations as you suggested.

I say no because you are writing files on one server not on two servers but however i dont know this and never done like this
i too want to see the answer thanks for asking
