Description
Stores a list of Domain Name System (DNS) servers to which Windows Sockets sends queries when it resolves names for this interface. This entry, which can be changed by the user, overrides the values that the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configures for the DNS name servers.
The interface-specific DNS name server for the system is determined by the DhcpNameServer entry, which DHCP configures, and by this entry, which the user can configure. If the value of this entry is valid, it takes precedence over the value of DhcpIPAddress.
