Sample Configuration
<DNS>
<IPv4Settings>
<ObtainDNSFrom>DHCP/PPPoE/Static</ObtainDNSFrom>
<DNSIPList><!--This tag should be used only when <ObtainDNSFrom>has value "Static" -->
<DNS1>ipaddress</DNS1>
<DNS2>ipaddress</DNS2>
<DNS3>ipaddress</DNS3>
</DNSIPList>
</IPv4Settings>
<IPv6Settings>
<ObtainDNSFrom>DHCP/Static</ObtainDNSFrom>
<DNSIPList><!--This tag should be used only when <ObtainDNSFrom>has value "Static" -->
<DNS1>ipaddress</DNS1>
<DNS2>ipaddress</DNS2>
<DNS3>ipaddress</DNS3>
</DNSIPList>
</IPv6Settings>
<DNSQueryConfiguration>ChooseServerBasedOnIncomingRequestsRecordType/ChooseIPv6DNSServerOverIPv4/ChooseIPv4DNSServerOverIPv6/ChooseIPv6IfRequestOriginatorAddressIsIPv6,ElseIPv4</DNSQueryConfiguration>
</DNS>
