Explanation

dns forwarder: This smb.conf option specifies the DNS server to which queries should be forwarded if they cannot be resolved locally by the Samba server. Add dns forwarder = <additional_DNS_server_IP> to smb.conf on the Samba server. Ensure all clients are configured to query the Samba server for DNS information. Clients send all DNS queries to the Samba server. If the Samba server cannot resolve a query locally, it forwards the request to the additional DNS Benefit: This ensures that all DNS records, including those from the Active Directory domain and other DNS information, can be resolved by the clients.
