Hy everyone,
I have a PiHole instance running on my home server, and I changed my router (Fritz box) DNS in order to use my PiHole. Everything runs great.
I was wondering if I can put another DNS provider on my “alternative DNS server” in my router, in order to have a fallback alternative in case my server is down, or if I should avoid it.
I’m asking this because I don’t know if the request will be handled in parallel between the two DNS provider (that would make my PiHole useless) or not.
Thank you.
90% of network traffic uses the primary, but some things like to use both or exclusively the secomd one on random days.
I use Gravity-Sync to keep the settings/lists between them identical. (lots of local dns records for local self-hosted stuff, and each device has a static ip + dns record to identify it easily in logs)

I setup a second pihole for redundancy.
