The `dns.setServers()` method must not be called while a DNS query is in
progress.

Note that this method works much like
[resolve.conf](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/resolv.conf.5.html).
That is, if attempting to resolve with the first server provided results in a
`NOTFOUND` error, the `resolve` method will *not* attempt to resolve with
subsequent servers provided. Fallback DNS servers will only be used if the
earlier ones time out or result in some other error.
