DSC Resource 'DnsServerForwarders'

DnsServerForwarders manages the DNS forwarder list on a DNS server.

When to use 'DnsServerForwarders'

Use this resource when you need to configure which upstream DNS servers your DNS server forwards unresolvable queries to. Forwarders are typically set to your ISP’s DNS servers, public DNS (e.g., 8.8.8.8), or internal upstream DNS servers for recursive resolution.
