I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.

I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn't access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?

On the left is the DNS server that DHCP sets first. On the right is one it sets second.

This is a mixed machine network (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android etc).

My clients will mostly pick option number one, but as you can see it's not a guarantee at all.
