I added a Pihole recently to my system and managed to get the primary DNS the pihole as well as secondary DNS google and others.
If I shut down pihole I can still browse, because the other DNS servers are queried.
If I use "nslookup www.google.de" I get a response from pihole, if it is up. I do not get a response, if pihole is down, but I can browse the web.
Question: Is nslookup only using the primary DNS server and not the others given? Is this normal then, that when pihole is down I can browsde but nslookup does not resolve?

1What OS are you asking about? There are several different programs all called "nslookup" -- are you talking about the one that comes with Windows, or the one that comes with Bind9 on Linux/BSD? – user1686 – 2019-06-02T10:16:25.133
Sorry, Windows 8.1, stock nslookup – kelmat – 2019-06-02T10:51:04.257
