Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows Server and PowerShell-based instructions for configuring DNS conditional forwarders. No Linux or cross-platform DNS server configuration examples are given. Windows terminology and tools (PowerShell, Windows DNS Server role, DNS console) are used exclusively, and the only command-line example for configuring forwarders is in PowerShell. The documentation does not mention or provide steps for common Linux DNS servers (such as BIND or dnsmasq), nor does it acknowledge their usage in on-premises environments.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions for configuring DNS conditional forwarders on popular Linux DNS servers, such as BIND (named.conf options) and dnsmasq.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., editing /etc/named.conf or using rndc for BIND) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Explicitly state that the procedure applies to both Windows and Linux DNS servers, and provide links or references to relevant Linux documentation.
- Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'on-premises DNS server') and avoid assuming the use of Windows Server.
- Present Windows and Linux examples in parallel or alternate the order to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
