How do the Custom DNS settings work

I've added in some custom DNS servers to my gargoyle router (from the UnblockUS service I use).
If I added my ISPs DNS settings to this list as well, would they ever get used or would everything still be resolved by the UnblockUS dns servers?

If the first DNS server does not respond then the second would be used.
If the first DNS server always responds then no other DNS server would be used.

hmm, ok
I guess something like

Can I do something in dnsmasq to say if someone in my network is trying to use site xyz.co.nz use this DNS server, otherwise use the regular ones that are set up?

I do not know but the options of dnsmasq are many. Google "man dnsmasq" to learn about what you can do with it.

I got the impression that dnsmasq in gargoyle ran differently to the full one in a linux system.
As none of the examples I saw didn't look anythink like the dnsmasq.conf in /etc/dnsmasq.conf
