+= Creating a custom DNS host name to resolve DNS connectivity issues
+
+In a disconnected environment where a host server cannot be reached, you can resolve DNS connectivity issues by specifying a custom DNS host name in the `NMState` custom resource definition (CRD). The Kubernetes NMState Operator adds the custom DNS host name to the `/etc/resolv.conf` file. If your cluster gets disconnected, the Operator reads the `/etc/resolv.conf` and uses the custom DNS host name to resolve the DNS connectivity issue.
