It's important to correctly configure your DNS settings to resolve the private endpoint IP address to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the connection string. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01h0efwbchgkh9gdka5xxf2p7g))

You can use the following options to configure your DNS settings for private endpoints:
Use the host file (only recommended for testing). You can use the host file on a virtual machine to override the DNS.
Use a private DNS zone. You can use private DNS zones to override the DNS resolution for a private endpoint. A private DNS zone can be linked to your virtual network to resolve specific domains.
Use your DNS forwarder (optional). You can use your DNS forwarder to override the DNS resolution for a private link resource. Create a DNS forwarding rule to use a private DNS zone on your DNS server hosted in a virtual network. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01h0efwj1r8h528phw0j92667v))
