Hi Mhuss3y,

 

Both GTM would respond as long as they are listening on 53 and that you have listed both of them as a name server.

 

 

AS far as the local DNS server is considered the GTM looks and behaves like a typical DNS server. So the Local DNS would initiate and respond to the GTM as if it was interfacing normally to another DNS server. The amount of time for a timeout for local DNS to no longer care is up to the local DNS server settings.

 

 

 

I hope this helps
