Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage domain name system (DNS) requests in a computing system. In one example, a computing system identifies a DNS request from an application on the computing system and, in response to the request, identifies a DNS server to support the DNS request from a plurality of DNS servers based on a domain in the DNS request. The computing system further forwards the DNS request to the DNS server, wherein the DNS server is located on the computing system, obtains a response to the DNS request from the DNS server, wherein the response indicates a private internet protocol (IP) address in a private network subnet, and provides the response to the application.
