It will always test the DNS server upon which this dns query is defined.
E.g. you have two DNS server and you want to check if both of them can
resolve "www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org>";, so you put this in the 
bb-hosts file:

10.0.0.1 <http://10.0.0.1>; dns1.foo.com <http://dns1.foo.com>; # dns=a:
www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org>;
10.0.0.2 <http://10.0.0.2>; dns2.foo.com <http://dns2.foo.com>; # dns=a:
www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org>;

The first one sends the request to the dns1 server, the second request
goes to the dns2 server. Just like all of the other network tests.

Thanks -

I was looking at the man page at 3:30 in the morning.. Shows what lack of 
sleep will do.. :)
