Hi Neo,
First level failure: The CPU DNS server (Windows DC) spiked. This DNS server appears as the 2nd server in /etc/resolv.conf file.
Second (result of the 1st): Application servers were unable to connect to DB server. Logs reported --unable to find DB connection stream
When we reproduced the situation (kept 2nd DNS server down), the application server was unable to connect to DB server. But "nslookup <host> " worked

Neo,
Also please note that fixing the root cause (CPU spike or death of one DNS server) is not what I want. I want to solve the fact that resiliency did not work-- why app servers were unable to connect while only DNS server out of two was down.
