I don't know. Just place it second to find out. It is a wild idea, but worth testing to find out, don't you think? :-)
I tried an experiment. I changed a digit in the 1st DNS server address. DNS then stopped working for systems behind my firewall. So, it appears even the 2nd entry is not used. I have tried this with both resolv.conf and server= lines in dnsmasq.conf. I couldn't get the resolv-file method to work at all.
Oh? :-? On my laptop, using dnsmasq, when network goes up, dnsmasq prints to the syslog the list of dns servers it is going to use. I have it configured to use google's, but I noticed the router address being automatically added (via dhcp, I guess), making a total of 3 entries. I'm talking from memory. Somehow dnsmasq gets info from network manager. It is one of those things I noticed for investigating on an idle moment, but so far, I haven't. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
