No, the minimum requirement is two, for redundancy and back-up.  Anything
over this is for traffic distribution and maximum
fail-over.  Anything over 4 or 5 is unnecessary and overkill........

I'm working on some of the requirements for the new system, and I had a
quick question:  we can either use a 1 or 2 digit number to order
IN-ADDR.ARPA servers in our database.  Can anyone think of a reason to
need more than 10 servers?
