        Use this if you want to specify a list of DNS name servers
        (IP addresses) to use instead of those given in your
        /etc/resolv.conf file.
+       On Windows platforms, if no value is specified here or in
+       the /etc/resolv.conf file, the list of DNS name servers are
+       taken from the Windows registry, both static and dynamic DHCP
+       configurations are supported.
 
        Example: dns_nameservers 10.0.0.1 192.172.0.4
