DNS Forwarder port change: starting with NetBird v0.59.0, the local DNS forwarder used for routed DNS routes switches from port <code>5353</code> to <code>22054</code> to avoid collisions on client devices. For backward compatibility, the Management Service applies the new port only when <strong>all peers in the account</strong> run v0.59.0 or newer. If any peer is below v0.59.0, port <code>5353</code> will be used for all peers in that account.

To minimize system changes, NetBird runs a local embedded DNS resolver on each peer.
This resolver handles queries for domain names of registered peers in your network and forwards queries to upstream nameservers that you configure in the system.

### Nameserver
A nameserver is an upstream DNS server responsible for name resolution. If a query is not related to a peer domain name,
it will be resolved by one of the upstream servers. You can assign private and public IPs, as well as custom ports for your nameservers.

### Metric and priority
Metric defines prioritization when choosing the main routing peer in a high availability network. Lower metrics have higher priority.
Outside of high availability routes, the metric has no effect.
