Misconfiguration of DNS IP
Hello all ,
I have 2 DNS server in production and one DHCP server , which will lease the IP address to the Wireless clients. Unfortunately in LAN environment some one has wrongly entered the DHCP server address as a secondary DNS server address. By any chance , does it disrupt the network?
Thanks
Michel

That's perfectly fine. I just wanted to know because of the DHCP server address assigned as DNS address , will any disrupt happen in network?
As I said earlier no impact until primary DNS server goes down / offline
As commented by Mahesh above it will not disrupt your connectivity.
But if your second DNS and DHCP on same server and if the secondary DNS(DHCP server) goes down you will loose connectivity when IP lease expire.

DNS DHCP servers are separate
the 2nd DNS server is not of use as DHCP server IP is used as secondary DNS

Apologize for misunderstanding.
If that is the case it will work till the primary DNS goes down as commented by Mahesh.
