Cloudflare's Anycast network intelligently routes DNS queries. If the primary IP address is unreachable, Cloudflare will attempt to resolve the query using the secondary IP address. If the secondary IP is also unavailable, Cloudflare will return a SERVFAIL error, indicating a problem with the DNS resolution process.
