adapter_names:
    description:
    - Adapter name or list of adapter names for which to manage DNS settings ('*' is supported
      as a wildcard value). The adapter name used is the connection caption in the Network
      Control Panel or via C(Get-NetAdapter), eg C(Local Area Connection).

ipv4_addresses:
    description:
    - Single or ordered list of DNS server IPv4 addresses to configure for lookup. An
      empty list will configure the adapter to use the DHCP-assigned values on connections
      where DHCP is enabled, or disable DNS lookup on statically-configured connections.
    required: true
