Is it possible to set a „main“ or „preferred“ upstream DNS server? Currently I have this [Bild] and according to actual usage the one is used for 8 %, the other one for 23 % of all requests (note that the cache is doing well and a lot of requests for internal devices are answered by the router) …

[image] bcutter: dnsmasq will somehow automatically decide which upstream server will be used (maybe depending on performance?) Yes. https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/dns-resolver/#improve-detection-algorithm-for-determining-the-best-forward-destination

You could try strict-order
