You need to consult your OS's documentation to see how DNS failover should be set up. That is, if your client attempts to contact a particular DNS server running on a DC and it doesn't answer, it goes to the next DC DNS server without any real delay.

Sorry, forgot to say that both DCs have themselves and each other in /etc/resolv.conf
