 ## Availability Zones
 
-Azure Firewall can be configured during deployment to span multiple Availability Zones for increased availability. You can also associate Azure Firewall to a specific zone for proximity reasons.  For more information on availability, see the Azure Firewall [Service Level Agreement (SLA)](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Service-Level-Agreements-SLA-for-Online-Services?lang=1).

 As the firewall scales, it creates instances in the zones it's in. So, if the firewall is in Zone 1 only, new instances are created in Zone 1. If the firewall is in all three zones, then it creates instances across the three zones as it scales.

-Custom DNS allows you to configure Azure Firewall to use your own DNS server, while ensuring the firewall outbound dependencies are still resolved with Azure DNS. You may configure a single DNS server or multiple servers in Azure Firewall and Firewall Policy DNS settings. Learn more about Custom DNS, see [Azure Firewall DNS settings](dns-settings.md).

 Azure Firewall can also resolve names using Azure Private DNS. The virtual network where the Azure Firewall resides must be linked to the Azure Private Zone.

 The Azure Firewall service requires a public IP address for operational purposes. While secure, some deployments prefer not to expose a public IP address directly to the Internet. 
 
-In such cases, you can deploy Azure Firewall in Forced Tunnel mode. This configuration creates a management NIC that is used by Azure Firewall for its operations. The Tenant Datapath network can be configured without a public IP address, and Internet traffic can be forced tunneled to another firewall or completely blocked.

 Forced Tunnel mode can't be configured at run time. You can either redeploy the Firewall or use the stop and start facility to reconfigure an existing Azure Firewall in Forced Tunnel mode. Firewalls deployed in Secure Hubs are always deployed in Forced Tunnel mode.

-You can configure Azure Firewall to route all Internet-bound traffic to a designated next hop instead of going directly to the Internet. For example, you may have an on-premises edge firewall or other network virtual appliance (NVA) to process network traffic before it's passed to the Internet.

-      - question: What is the SNAT TCP/UDP Port Reuse Behavior in Azure Firewall?
+      - question: What is the SNAT TCP/UDP port reuse behavior in Azure Firewall?
         answer: |
            Azure Firewall currently uses TCP/UDP source ports for outbound SNAT traffic, with no idle wait time. When a TCP/UDP connection is closed, the TCP port used is immediately seen as available for upcoming connections.
 
            As a workaround for certain architectures, you can deploy and scale with [NAT Gateway with Azure Firewall](../nat-gateway/tutorial-hub-spoke-nat-firewall.md) to provide a wider pool of SNAT ports for variability and availability.

+      - question: What are NAT behaviors in Azure Firewall?
+        answer: |
+          Specific NAT behaviors depend on the firewall's configuration and the type of NAT that's configured. For example, the firewall has DNAT rules for inbound traffic, and network rules and application rules for outbound traffic through the firewall.
