In this systemd github issue
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5755 in particular is
problematic darkstar states "the DNS servers are supposed to be exactly
equivalent". But as far as I can tell systemd doesn't have any provision
for temporarily falling back to a different nameserver if the main one
is unavailable and reverting back when it becomes available again.
Besides the scenario I listed in my previous comments, this also
prevents using a local nameserver as the main nameserver but falling
back to an external nameserver if the local one becomes unavailable,
with recovery. In that case the two nameservers may not even return the
same responses, but having a working nameserver that returns public
records is better than no nameserver at all. Again, if there is a way to
accomplish failovers with recovery with resolved, I'd love to know how
to do it.

Maybe systemd-resolved will get functionality that supports these use
cases, but right now ifaict it doesn't. And even when it does, will it
get backported to LTS versions of ubuntu such as 18.04?
