I have two DNS servers, a primary and a secondary. I have a couple questions.

1. In the forwarders tab should the information be identical for both primary and secondary?

2. for the root hints what should be in their and is that info that our ISP has to give us?

Yes - although it doesn't really matter you just need to forward to an 'external' DNS server (ie. isp)

If you use forwarders you don't need root hints so it doesn't matter.
