Hello ,
I'm currently facing an issue while trying to set up a backup DNS server for my Adguard Home on Merlin . Here's my setup:
My objective is to use ControlD DNS as a backup to my Raspberry Pi, in case the micro SD card fails. However, I'm encountering difficulties with the switching functionality between DNS server 1 and DNS server 2 when I power cycle my Raspberry Pi (or when the RPI is down).
To troubleshoot, I attempted to set ControlD DNS as "DNS server 1" and ran DNS leak tests, which confirmed that all queries are processed correctly using it.
Now, my question is: Is there a way to ensure seamless switching from DNS server 1 to DNS server 2 when there is no response from DNS server 1?
I greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you can provide.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Best regards,

- AC68U as the main router.
