Should not THE be used at the second sentence as "upstream servers" is used for the second time
I am tuning my knowledge on articles and here is one Wikipedia excerpt I am not sure about:
the non-recursive query of its local https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_server#Caching_name_server delivers a result and reduces the load on upstream DNS servers by caching DNS request records for a period of time after an initial response from upstream DNS servers
"Upstream DNS servers" should not be preceded by an article in general , but here it repeats for the second time and the servers are known then, right?
