Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing examples and procedures for Windows DNS servers when configuring on-premises DNS conditional forwarders. There are no examples or guidance for configuring equivalent DNS forwarding on Linux-based DNS servers (such as BIND or dnsmasq), nor are Linux tools or commands mentioned. The quickstarts and procedural steps prioritize PowerShell and portal interfaces, with CLI mentioned but not emphasized. This may leave Linux administrators without clear instructions for hybrid DNS setups.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and step-by-step instructions for configuring conditional forwarders on popular Linux DNS servers (e.g., BIND, dnsmasq, Unbound).
  • Include screenshots or configuration file snippets for Linux DNS server setups, similar to those provided for Windows DNS.
  • Mention Linux CLI tools and commands (e.g., dig, nsupdate) when demonstrating DNS queries and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure that quickstart links and procedural steps include Linux CLI and configuration options with parity to PowerShell/portal examples.
  • Add a section discussing differences and considerations for hybrid DNS resolution in mixed Windows/Linux environments.
