What algorithm is used if several DNS servers are specified?

Tue Feb 15, 2011 4:58 pm

If there are several DNS servers specified under /ip dns submenu, how RouterOS (v4.11) uses them? It sends a request to the first one, waits for some time and in case if no answer is received sends the request to the second server and so on? Or it sends a request to all servers simultaneously? Will there any impact on resolving speed if one of the servers is unreachable at some time?
