# DNS Response Policy

A DNS Response Policy in Google Cloud lets you control how DNS queries are resolved within your network. It allows you to define custom rules to override standard DNS responses, block or redirect specific domains, and enforce security or compliance requirements. This helps manage internal name resolution and protect against unwanted or malicious domains.

```
gcp.dns_response_policy
```
