Some people setup the local DNS as master of the local network, with no knowledge of the outside world, because the server does not ask outside. Somehow, windows can bypass this at the clients by asking the local server, failing, then asking the outside server.
Linux doesn't, because that is contrary to the standard. So what? Since when has windows followed standards? But it works for them. You can tell dhcpcd or dhclient to append DNS servers rather than replace,

No, linux doesn't cycle. If the first dns says the name is unknown, it doesn't ask the next. I understand it uses the second server if the first doesn't answer (it is down), which is not the same as saying there is no answer, no ip. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
