Learn about DNS forwarding, including delegation, conditional forwarders, and intranet name resolution in Windows Server.
Learn how to redirect DNS to a specific port, allowing you to route traffic to custom services or applications. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for configuring DNS and port forwarding.
Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing Port Forwarding For Dns Server Setup.
In this article, we will look at two ways to organize conditional name resolution in a DNS server on Windows Server 2016/2019/2022: DNS Conditional Forwarding and DNS Policies.

What you need to do is setup a port forward for port 80 to your web server's internal IP address. So if your web server's IP address is 192.168.1.100, setup a port forward on your router so all traffic for port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.100.
By default, this is port 53. This is the normal port for any DNS server, as it is the port expected by clients. Certain use cases may involve moving the DNS Forwarder to another Listen Port, such as 5353 or 54, and then specific sources may be forwarded there via port forwards.
