I would suggest so.  I always set a Qube to point to itself as its Primary
DNS, then use the ISP's DNS as the Secondary.  This means the Qube does not
need to contact the ISP's DNS for local activity.

WRT the Gateway Microserver, it is configured to use the loopback address
(127.0.0.1) as its Primary DNS.

Cheers,  Malcolm
