Then you have been lucky.

You are also lucky that works. The fact that it works today does not
mean it will work next week - nor that this is a good or reliable
configuration.
RFC 2182 was written by people who really, really know what they are
talking about. If you ignore their advice, your nameservice is liable to
break in exactly the way you are experiencing. Don't say they didn't
tell you :-)
"3.2. Unsuitable Configurations
While it is unfortunately quite common, servers for a zone should
certainly not all be placed on the same LAN segment in the same room
of the same building - or any of those. Such a configuration almost
defeats the requirement, and utility, of having multiple servers."
If DNS is important to your business, isn't it worth paying $5 per month
for off-site secondary? That would cover an unlimited number of domains.
