Your PC first checks on the subnet it's on to determined if the name is a local name, then it checks the DNS it has (either the router or directly to the DNS servers (depends on how the lan is set up but the router will just forward it to the NS servers it has.) If the first DNS doesn;t respond then it tries the alternate and if that doesn;t respond then it'll error out.
