receiving, from a user equipment (UE), application information that indicates the UE supports receiving domain name system (DNS) information indirectly from the server via a network layer, wherein the application information corresponds to at least one application associated with the UE, and wherein the network layer connects the UE and a network entity;
generating the DNS information for use with the at least one application associated with the UE, wherein the DNS information indicates one or more DNS servers associated with the at least one application;
transmitting, based at least in part on the UE supporting receiving the DNS information indirectly from the server via the network layer, the DNS information to the network entity to indirectly indicate the DNS information via the network layer; and
