No - you need two DNS servers. This is NOT the same as one server with
two IPs.

I'd guess 'use another'.

You have two issues ...
DNS for use within your server is configured in resolv.conf - I imagine
your host will provide the details for that.
DNS so others can find your site by domain name rather than IP - for this
you need two servers - at a push, one of them could be your VPS although
this is not ideal.
