[Dnsmasq-discuss] DNS servers to resolve domain name

> In this situation, when my system does DNS query, some time I get very quick results and some time it take time to get DNS answer. If I remove the server which is down from the list, it works very well. What is the logic behind contacting these “nameservers”? I don’t mention “-o” option for considering DNS servers in order. Please explain how it works.
