Basic question on Log analytics workspace

I have a question on log analytics workspace :

1)If i have configured 2 Vm's one as DC and the other as member server. And the dc ip is put accross as DNS ip at the vnet level at DNS server. I have seen that if you do a nslookup FQDN of the log analytics workspace . It gets resolved . We send the query to DNS server and since DNS server cannot handle this query , it sends it to the Root and to send that query we use the default gateway Ip which is by default taken as 168 .x.x.x range . My understanding is .. that default gateway routes that query over internet to fetch the Ip . Am i correct on this ?

2) If by any means i have configured proxy with the machine and say that any internet traffic should be routed destined for 0.0.0.0/0 should be routed though this proxy . In this case how the name resolution would work ?

    Hi @kumar kaushal · Thank you for reaching out.

    Best way to configure name resolution would be to set the IP address of the Azure Provided DNS under the Forwarders tab of your DNS server. The DC will then forward all requests to Azure Provided DNS IP address if the DC itself doesn't have required set of resource records to perform name resolution.

    If you have configured a default route (0.0.0.0/0) with next hop address of your proxy device, all internet traffic will be routed via proxy regardless of whether it is for 168.x.x.x range or any other destination service/port.
