Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows/Active Directory DNS is consistently presented as the default or recommended option, with Microsoft best practices and tools referenced first and most frequently. Examples and screenshots for DNS management and record viewing are almost exclusively from Windows environments (e.g., DNS Manager, C:\> nslookup), with Linux alternatives mentioned only secondarily or briefly. Some operational details (like secure DDNS) are described as supported only with Microsoft Active Directory DNS servers, and manual record creation instructions reference Windows DNS tools and patterns. Linux/BIND and dig are mentioned, but not given equal prominence or practical guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equal, side-by-side examples for both Windows and Linux/BIND environments throughout the documentation, including screenshots and command-line instructions.
- Clearly state when features are Windows-only and offer Linux/BIND alternatives or workarounds where possible.
- Include practical guidance for managing DNS records, scavenging, and dynamic DNS in Linux/BIND environments, not just Windows DNS Manager.
- Reference Linux/BIND documentation and best practices alongside Microsoft/Windows links.
- Avoid presenting Windows/Active Directory DNS as the default or only recommended option; instead, discuss both platforms neutrally and highlight differences.
- Add troubleshooting steps and packet capture examples using Linux tools (e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark on Linux) in addition to Windows tools.
