This section is interesting because it allows you to use your own DNS server (or for educational purposes) or use multiple servers, also if your computer allows you to perform a local DNS cache server.
One of the goals of performing a local DNS is to use the DNS entries to add them to the firewall.

To make it transparent, just add the rule to the firewall.
Code:
/ip firewall nat
add action=redirect chain=dstnat dst-port=53 in-interface=all-vlan protocol=udp to-ports=53
