BB doesn't read that file directly, it does name resolution through your
systems' gethostbyname() library routine. I would expect that to use
all of the entries in the resolv.conf configuration, unless the first
one was responding with wrong answers (e.g. if the first server responds
"hostname does not exist", then the gethostbyname() routine won't bother
with querying the second server, since it already did get a reply).

But exactly how it behaves depends on your OS' implementation of the
resolver library.
