DNS allows the translation between human-readable domain names and their associated machine-readable IP addresses. Depending on your requirements, you have the following options for configuring a DNS server for your data network:

- If you need the UEs connected to this data network to resolve domain names and access the public internet, you must configure one or more DNS servers. For example, you can use public servers such as Google DNS (*8.8.8.8* and *8.8.4.4*).
83-
- If you only need the UEs in this data network for local traffic (for example, [UE-to-UE traffic](private-5g-core-overview.md#ue-to-ue-traffic)), you can skip this step. Note that all UEs using that network will then be unable to access the public internet.
82+
- If you need the UEs connected to this data network to resolve domain names, you must configure one or more DNS servers. You must use a private DNS server if you need DNS resolution of internal hostnames. Alternatively, if you're only providing internet access to public DNS names, you can use a public DNS server instead.
83+
- If you don't need the UEs to perform DNS resolution, or if all UEs in the network will use their own locally configured DNS servers (instead of the DNS servers signalled to them by the packet core), you can omit this configuration.
