DNS Forwarder Order / Priority

Sambo
Is there any way to specify / determine which order DNS Forwarders are used in?  I have a few DNS servers (4 to be exact - paranoid? perhaps, but better too many than not enough I say! [:D]) setup in the DNS Forwarders section, but they are listed in alphabetical order so I'm not sure which order they will be tried in...

    Ok, I think we're both wrong here.  I did some testing while watching the outgoing Internet traffic monitor & found that... there is no order... at least not as we know it [:)]

    Astaro seems to have far more intelligence than we credited it with.  From my testing it appears that DNS forwarders that are the fastest to respond are given the greatest preference.

    Sweet!  I couldn't imagine any better method to use! [:D]
