General • How does RouterOS prioritize domain name servers?

Hi, all

So, say I have specified two domain name servers in my MikroTik - 8.8.8.8 first and 8.8.4.4 secondly, how would RouterOS decide which to use first?

For my application, I need RouterOS to always use the first specified server, unless it is unreachable.

If I specify those two domain name servers in my DHCP, and I have a Windows client, it will sometimes use the one, and sometimes the other. It seems to be random?

I will be running a custom domain name server, and I need RouterOS to always send queries to it, again, unless it is unreachable.

Thanks in advance.
