Comment on When Pi-hole is down?
Bizarroland@kbin.social 7 months agoCan you send me some more information on this because this is the first I've ever heard that it would not automatically pick the fastest closest and most responsive DNS system available.
No remote DNS server will ever be as fast as one that is local

I tried this. Put a DNS override for Google.com for one but not the other Adguard instance. Then did a DNS lookup and the answer (ip) changed randomly form the correct one to the one I used for the override. I’m assuming the same goes for the scenario with the l public DNS as well. In any case, the response delay should be similar, since the local pi hole instance has to contact the upstream DNS server anyway.
