By default, the Consul DNS listens for queries at `127.0.0.1:8600` and uses the `consul` domain. Specify the following parameters in the agent configuration to determine DNS behavior when querying services:

- [`client_addr`](/consul/docs/agent/config/config-files#client_addr)
- [`ports.dns`](/consul/docs/agent/config/config-files#dns_port)
- [`ports.dns`](/consul/docs/agent/config/config-files#dns_port) : Consul does not use port `53`, which is typically reserved for the default port for DNS resolvers, by default because it requires an escalated privilege to bind to.

- [`domain`](/consul/docs/agent/config/config-files#domain)
- [`alt_domain`](/consul/docs/agent/config/config-files#alt_domain)
