The VyOS DNS forwarder does not require an upstream DNS server. It can serve as a
full recursive DNS server - but it can also forward queries to configurable
upstream DNS servers. By not configuring any upstream DNS servers you also
avoid to be tracked by the provider of your upstream DNS server.

The local IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to bind the DNS forwarder to. The forwarder will listen on this address for
incoming connections.
Example
=======
Router with two interfaces eth0 (WAN link) and eth1 (LAN) does want to make
use of DNS split-horizon for example.com.
A VyOS router with two interfaces - eth0 (WAN) and eth1 (LAN) - is required to implement a split-horizon DNS configuration for example.com.
* DNS request for example.com need to get forwarded to IPv4 address 192.0.2.254
and IPv6 address 2001:db8:cafe::1
* All other DNS requests are forwarded to DNS server listening on 192.0.2.1,
In this scenario:
* All DNS requests for example.com must be forwarded to a DNS server at 192.0.2.254
and 2001:db8:cafe::1
* All other DNS requests will be forwarded to a different set of DNS servers at 192.0.2.1,
192.0.2.2, 2001:db8::1:ffff and 2001:db8::2:ffff
* DNS server is listening on the LAN interface addresses only, 192.168.1.254
* The VyOS DNS forwarder will only listen for requests on the eth1 (LAN) interface addresses - 192.168.1.254
for IPv4 and 2001:db8::ffff for IPv6
* Only clients from the LAN segment (192.168.1.0/24) are allowed to use this
server
* The VyOS DNS forwarder will only accept lookup requests from the LAN subnets - 192.168.1.0/24 and 2001:db8::/64
