I am reviewing the documentation for a custom DNS tool (YogaDNS) regarding how the Windows DNS resolver handles multiple network interfaces YogaDNS Interfaces Documentation.
The author mentions that Windows multi-homed name resolution behavior can be modified via Group Policy or through specific system registry parameters. However, the documentation lists these crucial parameters as bullet points without providing their exact registry subkey paths, data types, or valid values:
DynamicServerQueryOrderDisableSmartNameResolutionDisableParallelAandAAAA
I know the general DNS client parameters reside under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesDnscacheParameters, but some sources suggest certain policies (like Smart Name Resolution) might actually belong under the Group Policy hive (SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTDNSClient).
Could someone provide a definitive Registry Manifest for these three settings? Specifically, I need to know:
- The exact Registry Path for each parameter.
- The Value Type (e.g.,
REG_DWORD). - The Recommended Data Values to successfully disable or tweak these parallel/smart queries to avoid DNS leaks or conflicting interface behaviors.
A markdown table or a PowerShell configuration snippet mapping these out would be highly appreciated.
