Describe the problem

Doing an nslookup for a dns of a peer (peer.netbird.selfhosted) results in the following:
Server: 127.0.0.153
Address: 127.0.0.153#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: host.netbird.selfhosted
Address: 100.100.100.100 (e.g.)
** server can't find samuel-server.netbird.selfhosted: NXDOMAIN

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install the netbird client (I have NixOS with netbird version 0.43.3 and Ubuntu with netbird version 0.38.2)
Run nslookup another peer with its name peer.netbird.selfhosted.

Expected behavior
The DNS should be resolved without errors.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?
Using self-host NetBird's control plane.

NetBird version
0.43.3
0.38.2

Is any other VPN software installed?
No
