qmail doesn't particularly care about the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
-- qmail uses your local resolver library. The resolver library cares about
/etc/resolv.conf.
That said, is nameserver x.x.x.x dead? If so, I would expect that it
(-lresolv) will fall back on y.y.y.y. If x.x.x.x is answering queries at
all, then you'll never fall back to y.y.y.y -- ever.
What did you actually observe? What was the status of DNS on x.x.x.x at
the time? What did you expect?
