What does DNS server not available mean?
So you’ve seen the Your DNS server might be unavailable message.

Put your DNS behind a failover router and assign a policy costing for the prefered connections to use in the specific condition.
How are two IPS displayed on a DNS server?
When I do a nslookup, both IPs are displayed. This applies to CNAMEs too (when the server responses with the BACKUP IP, the CNAME responses with it too). Both interfaces are available on the DNS servers (2 servers) and there is a reverse lookup zone.
Can a VPN connect to more than one DNS server?
Occasionally, some of their clients, not all of them and not the sames, are unable to connect to the server using its hostname, while they succeed in it using the public IP address of the server. I checked VPN settings, that pass to the clients 2 DNS IPs, first one for the Domain Controller in Azure and the second one for Mr.Google, as a backup.
Is there a reverse lookup zone for two DNS servers?
Both interfaces are available on the DNS servers (2 servers) and there is a reverse lookup zone.

The BACKUP IPs should not be available for the clients.
