K8S DNSConfig not apply to the pod

[mysiki]

Describe the bug When we deploy a windows container with DNSConfig parameter, this parameter is not apply to the container.

To Reproduce

• Deploy custom coreDNS pod
• Deploy Pod with DNSconfig which point to this coreDNS service

Expected behavior POD DNS should be setup with the information which come from DNSConfig

Configuration:

• Edition: Windows Server]
• Base Image being used: tested on Windows Server Core 2022 and Windows server nano 2022
• Container engine: K8S - ctr
• Container Engine version K8S (on EKS) 1.30

Additional context

The same dnsConfig setting work normally on Linux pod.
