[Launched] Generally Available: Fallback to Internet on Private DNS Zones


Here's a concise summary of Azure's Generally Available: Fallback to Internet on Private DNS Zones based on available documentation and relevant sources:


Overview

The Fallback to Internet feature for Azure Private DNS Zones is now generally available, allowing DNS queries for non-private records to resolve via public DNS servers when no matching record exists in the configured private zones[1][3][5]. This ensures seamless hybrid environments and reduces DNS resolution failures.


Key Functionality

  • Automatic Public DNS Resolution: Queries for records not defined in private DNS zones automatically resolve using public internet DNS servers if enabled[5].
  • Hybrid Environment Support: Ideal for scenarios requiring access to both private endpoints and public resources without manual DNS configuration[3][4].
  • Enhanced Resilience: Minimizes application downtime caused by DNS resolution failures in isolated or on-premises environments[2][4].

Configuration Steps

  1. Enable at Zone Level:
  • Navigate to Zone Configuration in the Azure Portal.
  • Toggle "Enable internet fallback"[2][4].
  1. Per Virtual Network Link:
  • Edit the virtual network link on the Private DNS Zone.
  • Enable "Fallback to internet" for granular control[2][4].

Critical Considerations

  • Firewall Rules: Ensure outbound DNS traffic (UDP/TCP port 53) is allowed for public DNS resolution[5].
  • Azure Firewall Integration: Use FQDN tags (e.g., AzureDNS) or enable the DNS proxy feature to manage DNS traffic[5].
  • Private Endpoint Compatibility: Works seamlessly with services like Azure Key Vault, Storage Accounts, and SQL Database that use private endpoints[3][4].

Benefits

  • Reduced Downtime: Failover to public DNS minimizes disruptions during outages[2][4].
  • Simplified Management: Eliminates manual DNS forwarding for public resources[1][3].
  • Multi-Region Support: Ensures consistent DNS resolution in geographically distributed deployments[3].

Note: While the linked Azure update (ID 480005) isn't directly accessible, functional details align with recent Azure documentation and community technical guides[1][3][5].

For verification, use Azure Resource Graph Explorer or the CLI to check fallback status on configured zones or links[2][4].
