Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias in the section on configuring on-premises DNS forwarding. Only Windows Server and PowerShell-based instructions are provided, with no mention of Linux-based DNS servers (such as BIND or dnsmasq) or their configuration. All command-line examples and screenshots are Windows-centric, and the documentation does not acknowledge or provide parity for Linux environments, which are common in enterprise and hybrid cloud scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and examples for configuring DNS forwarding on popular Linux DNS servers, such as BIND and dnsmasq.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., editing named.conf.options for BIND) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention that the procedure applies to both Windows and Linux DNS servers, and provide links or references to official documentation for Linux DNS server configuration.
  • Reorganize the documentation to present both Windows and Linux options in parallel, or at least acknowledge Linux as a supported and common scenario.
  • Where screenshots are used, consider including Linux-based management interfaces or configuration file snippets as well.
