  DNS configuration is not a per-NIC setting.  When the machine needs
to call on DNS, it will use the DNS addresses[*] to determine which
interface to use; it has no way to pick an interface first.

[*] The addresses and subnet masks of the interfaces, and the address
of the default gateway (also not per-NIC), are used in making this
determination.
