Configure a Private DNS server with Cato DNS

Does anyone configure a private DNS server (Windows DNS server) with the Cato default DNS server? We have a private DNS server to resolve the internal hosts. But I am a bit confused about how I can...

We set the Windows DNS server external forwarders to be the Cato DNS Servers:
10.254.254.1
8.8.8.8

It works really well for us.

That was more of a catch-all for us, because the Cato DNS Servers are already configured in the CMA for VPN users, and our DHCP gives out the Cato DNS Servers too.  We added in DNS Forwarding rules to the CMA to match what is on the privacy DNS server.  It is a bit of duplication, but ensures we had comprehensive coverage of ensuring Cato DNS resolves everything (user devices and non-user devices DNS lookups).
