You are wrongfully assuming here that it is the DNS server that is the problem.

While it is typically the device running busybox instead that does not have
working connectivity yet on boot.
On Ethernet switches that have the spanning tree protocol enabled it takes 45
seconds after the network link goes up before it goes to forwarding state and
there is a working network connection...
