I've seen various client OSs fail in really weird ways when the first
DNS server in the list doesn't respond quick enough, much less never.

+1 to something like VRRP / CARP / routing tricks to make sure that the
Virtual / Service IP that client's use as the first DNS server is always
available. Even if the first and second IP are on the same system for a
few minutes while the other is patched.
