Patrick, Unless you can back this up with a sniff or Q article, I am going to strongly disagree with this one. To my knowledge, windows clients actually just send to the first server listed. If that server NEVER responds, it sends to the second. But if that server responds negatively (i.e. "I can't find the host"), the client will never query any other servers, due to the fact that the other servers SHOULD (assuming root hints and forwarding are correctly configured) respond with the same answer.
