Content engine DNS question

[Cooky]

We're using the content engines to cache web & ftp traffic.

If we have multiple DNS servers listed, does the content engine use them from top-down (if not found from 1st, go to next), or in rotation (like round-robin)??

We have multiple domains that require multiple DNS servers to work together, and there are DNS records that only each DNS server knows about.
The server I listed on top has records that are more frequently requested, so I'm hoping it's the top-down fashion.

Not 100% sure if this applies to the CE, but most of the time they allow multiple outbound queries but allow only the first response to that query. All other responses to the initial query are dropped.

Have you looked into Split-DNS at all? Using a DNS view list, each member is checked in the order specificied by the list. The first DNS view in the list with configured usage restrictions that allow its use will be used to forward the incoming query.

How do you get to the DNS view list?
I don't see any option to specify the order.
We're running ACNS 5.5.5.4
