This is indeed an open option. Since the goal here is to have libc always query rebound, it should probably emulate the current behavior when you have multiple nameservers in resolv.conf. But this is a little more complicated, as it requires tracking nexthop per server and probably changing the timeout because libc may not know how many servers there are... I'd like to wait a bit.
