forwarding queries

About this tag
The tag forwarding queries covers discussions about configuring DNS servers to forward specific queries to external resolvers. In the context of Windows Server and Active Directory, users often need to set up conditional forwarding so that certain subdomains, such as those used for ACME DNS challenges, are resolved by external DNS providers like Cloudflare instead of the local AD DNS server.

The tag includes practical troubleshooting and configuration advice for IT professionals managing hybrid DNS environments.
