Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all command-line examples use PowerShell cmdlets, specifically those only available on Windows (e.g., Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone, Resolve-DnsName, Test-NetConnection). There are no Linux or cross-platform DNS configuration examples, nor are Linux-native tools (such as dig, systemd-resolved, or BIND/named) mentioned. The prerequisites reference only the Azure PowerShell module. The narrative assumes Windows Server DNS as the default, with only a brief note that 'any DNS server' can be used, but no guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/BSD examples for DNS forwarding configuration, such as using BIND/named or dnsmasq for conditional forwarding.
- Include Linux-native command-line tools for DNS testing (e.g., dig, host, nslookup) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Mention and link to documentation for configuring DNS forwarders on common Linux distributions.
- Clarify in the prerequisites that Linux-based DNS servers are supported and provide relevant setup instructions.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux approaches are given equal prominence, or provide a cross-platform section.
