Thanks for the suggestion. I may have to do that.

The dhclient.leases file indicates that 192.168.10.1 is first in the list of DNS servers. And there is only one lease.

  option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.1,92.220.228.70,109.247.114.4;

I notice that the name servers in /etc/resolv.conf are listed in numerical order. However, I found no sort in /sbin/resolvconf or in /sbin/dhclient-script.

There is infact sorting, but not inside one lease.
What is the output of

resolvconf -l and resolvconf -v

?

Also, could you consider upgrading to openresolv-3.9.0?
While there's no specific fix there which would address this issue, it doesn't hurt either.

I also notice that the name resolver assumes that all DNS servers have the same information. It stops trying to resolve names at the first server that works. That is not the way I would have designed it.

That's outside the scope of openresolv and what it does.
