Configuring the DNS proxy

You can specify multiple DNS servers by using the dns server command repeatedly. Upon receiving a name query request from a client, the DNS proxy forwards the request to the DNS server that has the highest priority. If having not received a reply, it forwards the request to a DNS server that has the second highest priority, and thus in turn.
