Azure Point-to-Site VPN Client: How to configure the Azure Private DNS Resolver IP?

I connected to the Azure Network using the Azure Point-to-Site VPN Client. Additionally, I configured the Azure Private DNS Resolver, and I was able to resolve the Private Endpoint by specifying the IP address of the Azure Private DNS Resolver.

C:\>nslookup kv-prod-centralus-d4.privatelink.vaultcore.azure.net 10.0.0.36

Server: UnKnown

Address: 10.0.0.36

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: kv-prod-centralus-d4.privatelink.vaultcore.azure.net

Address: 10.1.3.5

I don't want to specify the IP address of the Azure Private DNS Resolver in the nslookup command.

According to my understanding, Azure Point-to-Site VPN Client Configuration should include the IP address of the Azure Private DNS Resolver.

I see the following configuration file part of the VPN zip file
