DNS routing for local and internet access

Hello everyone


I have a DNS configuration plan and want to evaluate it separately for local and internet access.

When the central DNS company.xxxxx performs a DNS query, I want my local users to use the DNS I specify when accessing the internet. I don't want them to go to company.xxxxx DNS when accessing the internet, and at the same time

When SD-WAN connects to the internet, I want it to route to whichever xxxxx - xxxxx DNS has the best jitter, packet loss, and ping values.

Is there anyone who can help?

I solved the problem by configuring the DNS and DNS SERVER settings.
