Unless I'm missing something, your config is a mess and flawed. If you need to "resolve addresses on that range" then the DNS server(s) you are using better know about hosts on that range. Your DNS client will only use the secondary (tertiary etc) DNS server when the proceeding servers _fail to respond_.. In other words, if you ask DNS server 1 "who is google.com" and DNS server 1 says "beats me" then you are done - your client does not continue to the next server. If DNS Server 1 doesn't reply (it's down for example) then it will move to DNS Server 2, etc.... Also - two default gateways?
