Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the section on configuring on-premises DNS forwarding. Only Windows Server and PowerShell instructions are provided, with no equivalent guidance for Linux-based DNS servers (e.g., BIND). The use of Windows-specific tools and terminology (PowerShell, DNS console) is exclusive, and Linux alternatives are not mentioned or linked. Windows command-line examples (nslookup) are shown, but these are generally cross-platform. The overall flow assumes a Windows environment for on-premises DNS management.
Recommendations
  • Add step-by-step instructions for configuring conditional forwarders on common Linux DNS servers, such as BIND/named.
  • Include Linux command-line examples for DNS queries (e.g., dig, host) alongside nslookup.
  • Explicitly mention that the procedure applies to both Windows and Linux DNS servers, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Present Windows and Linux examples in parallel or clearly label them, rather than only showing Windows.
  • Consider adding a table comparing steps for Windows and Linux environments.
