    Via ChatGPT 4 (accuracy unverified):

    Yes, you can configure systemd-resolved to use the DNS servers in the order provided without dynamically switching based on speed. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Edit the resolved configuration file:

      Open the resolved.conf file in a text editor:

      sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

    2. Modify or add the following line:

      DNS=`IP_of_pihole` `IP_of_mikrotik`
DNSStubListener=no
FallbackDNS=

      Replace IP_of_pihole and IP_of_mikrotik with your actual DNS IP addresses. This tells systemd-resolved to only use the DNS servers in the order you’ve specified.

    3. Prevent automatic DNS changes by network manager:

      If you’re using NetworkManager, create a drop-in configuration to prevent it from overriding DNS settings:

      sudo mkdir -p /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns.conf

      Add the following content:

      [main]
dns=none

    4. Restart services:

      After making these changes, restart systemd-resolved and NetworkManager:

      sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

    This should ensure that your system uses the DNS servers in the order provided without any automatic switching.
