The DNS-specific option use_probe_resolver is mentioned in <https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/measurement-creation-api/> but with little indication of the semantics. My experience is that some probes (with the default retry=0) return several responses, with the same "prb_id", but different "from". I assume it means the probe had several resolvers configured and tried them all. Am I correct? It may question some conclusions of <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephane_bortzmeyer/how-many-ripe-atlas-probes-can-resolve-ipv6-only-domain-names>. Is there an option to switch to the more typical behaviour of a DNS client (try the first resolver configured and switch to the second if the first does not reply)?
