<command>systemd-resolved</command> or <command>systemd-networkd</command> about per-interface DNS
configuration determined through external means. The <command>dns</command> command expects IPv4 or
IPv6 address specifications of DNS servers to use. The <command>domain</command> command expects
valid DNS domains, possibly prefixed with <literal>~</literal>, and configures a per-interface
search or route-only domain. The <command>default-route</command> command expects a boolean
parameter, and configures whether the link may be used as default route for DNS lookups, i.e. if it
is suitable for lookups on domains no other link explicitly is configured for. The
<command>llmnr</command>, <command>mdns</command>, <command>dnssec</command> and
<command>dnsovertls</command> commands may be used to configure the per-interface LLMNR,
MulticastDNS, DNSSEC and DNSOverTLS settings. Finally, <command>nta</command> command may be used
to configure additional per-interface DNSSEC NTA domains.</para>

separated with <literal>:</literal>, a network interface name or index separated with

IPv6 address is specified with a port number, then the address must be in the square brackets. That
