yes there appear to be rather different interpretations as to when secondary resolvers (lines coming after the first nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf) are actually contacted. So far I can tell it does not only depend on the functioning of the primary resolver, but yes I believe it makes a significant difference if you use a resolver in the first or secondary position (unless you enabled round-robin). Next time I measure, I aim to better differentiate what relays use what resolver as primary or secondary resolver. -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_
