Not something that would have to be on all the time, but more something that can be off overnight. This question feels like it has an obvious yes/no answer that I’m missing.

    Just fyi how a client handles multiple DNS servers might not always be you expect and just depends on how it was implemented. Some clients can just send a DNS request to all DNS servers at once and take whatever responds first, essentially randomizing which DNS server gets used

      And a local will always respond faster than non-local, unless that local is turned off.
