If I understand correctly, you expect responses from both forwarders.
That isn't how forwarding works. It ask one of them and get a response.
Positive or negative, it will be the only response to the client. You
can put more than one there for redundancy.
If you expect a response from 11.0.0.3, when the server first asked
8.8.8.8, if it get a negative response, 11.0.0.3 will not be asked, it
will only if there is a problem (timeout for example) using 8.8.8.8
