Explanation

For on-premises connectivity to a Private Endpoint, DNS resolution must route private endpoint queries through Azure's private DNS infrastructure. The correct architecture requires a DNS forwarder VM (VM1) in Azure that forwards the private zone domain (contoso.com or the privatelink zone) to Azure's magic IP 168.63.129.16, which can resolve Private DNS Zone records - on-premises resolvers cannot reach 168.63.129.16 directly. On-premises DNS must then forward the relevant domain to VM1 (the conditional forwarder in Azure), completing the resolution chain: on-premises → VM1 → 168.63.129.16 → Private DNS Zone → PE1's private IP.
