This policy setting enables you to specify DNS binding behavior. NCSI by default will restrict DNS lookups to the interface it is currently probing on. If you enable this setting, NCSI will allow the DNS lookups to happen on any interface.
The following checkbox disables interface binding when doing DNS lookups in NCSI. This can enable NCSI to work better with special network configurations, like a DNS server running on localhost.
