Feature Request - Specify DNS servers to be used for uptime kuma in Settings

This is important in case we have two A records, and I wish to focus on specific DNS record that can be resolved when pointing to a DNS server.

btw, it works just fine when select DNS host monitor.

here:

✔️ Solution

To add settings page in the UI or even docker run parameters to specify DNS servers will be used for resolving DNS requests from uptime kuma.

/etc/hosts

/etc/resolv.conf

❓ Alternatives

Currently, you have to have some DNS input on the docker host or global DNS to get that working, still will be conflicting if there is more than A record.

What about:

docker run -d --dns="1.1.1.1" {OTHER OPTIONS} louislam/uptime-kuma:1

Could this work?

@solracsf is that an actual existing parameter that I can use?!
If yes! Then that answers my question!!

I am going to close this issue as resolved.
Utilising the platform-provided (node/docker) mechanisms for configuring dns resolution is likely a better choice than implementing this into our current stack

This might be better suited for a new issue but I have a use case which cannot be solved with the dns docker setting.
I have a Status page for multiple customers with applications only available via their respective vpn.
I can connect the host to multiple vpns but as configuring multiple dns hosts doesn't try all of them I can't use dns entries of any but the first customers.
Obviously I could setup a custom dns server which delegates the relevant domains to their regarding dns servers but I would prefer a simpler solution.

My ideal solution would be the ability to configure remote agents which report back to my primary instance but as I understood this might be more complicated than allowing configuration of the dns server per health check.
