Hmm:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dnsclient/resolve-dnsname

It's called "Resolve-DnsName" but the name is highly misleading since
it supports a bunch of other resolution methods:

-LlmnrFallback
Allows falling back to the LLMNR protocol when resolving this query with DNS fails.

-LlmnrNetbiosOnly
Resolves this query using only the LLMNR or NetBIOS protocols.

-LlmnrOnly
Resolves this query using only the LLMNR protocol.

-NetbiosFallback
Allows fallback to the NetBIOS protocol when resolving this query with DNS fails.

-NoHostsFile
Skips the hosts file when resolving this query.
