Using Rewrites to workaround Routing Latency Issues?
I am aware of the nextdns.io/diag function.
I am only curious on how sensible would it be for me to workaround the routing issues by using the rewrite function found in settings?
Using ping.nextdns.io, I notice it is always the Secondary resolver which is routed properly to my location as compared to the Primary resolver.
Just to double check, I did ping on my PC to see which resolver is giving a low latency, in this case 45.90.30.0 (instead of 45.90.28.0)
So instead what I did was to rewrite;
- dns1.nextdns.io > dns.nextdns.io
- dns2.nextdns.io > dns.nextdns.io
- dns.nextdns.io > 45.90.30.0
It seems to workaround and solve the routing issues on my end, but I am wondering what could the implications be, by doing this?
Thanks

I also notice the secondary (.30) has lower latency compared to the primary (.28)
It's considerably different, where the primary is in the 100's of ms and the secondary is 5-8ms.
I've configured my devices to use the .30 as the primary but would also like to know if there is any disadvantage to doing this
