domain aaaexample.com
nameserver ns.nameserver_A.com (in TX)
nameserver ns.nameserver_B.com (in NY)
nameserver ns.nameserver_C.com (some where in the world)

nameserver ns.nameserver_A.com have SOA record of aaaexample.com like this:
ns ns.nameservera_A.com
ns ns.nameservera_B.com
ns ns.nameservera_C.com

nameserver ns.nameserver_B.com have SOA record of aaaexample.com like this:
ns ns.nameservera_B.com
ns ns.nameservera_C.com
ns ns.nameservera_A.com

nameserver ns.nameserver_C.com have SOA record of aaaexample.com like this:
ns ns.nameservera_C.com
ns ns.nameservera_A.com
ns ns.nameservera_B.com

which nameserver is the master server of aaaexample.com?

if we can have only one master name server, then this domain will have 
problem to be "seen"?!
