OK, that's news to us. What operating system(s) is/are QuickDNS running on?

I suppose it's possible that Apple updated Open Transport to force QuickDNS to respond on all configured interfaces.

DNS Expert will rely on TCP/IP to handle routing. If TCP/IP has the address of the new router configured as a gateway, then it will try to send packets through the router. (If both are configured, it should try to send packets through both.)
