If your network is down none of your services are going to be working anyway, so having a DNS on another network isn't going to help. Some registrars may enforce this requirement though. If so you might be able to make a deal with another person in a similar situation to provide DNS service for each other. For more arguments on why you don't really need two DNS servers in this case see: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/third-party.html
