Feature request

NextDNS is a hosted adblocking DNS resolver that is supported in the hosted Tailscale. It would be nice if this would be supported in Headscale too.

The support is baked into tailscaled (along with other DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers) so there is not much that needs to be done on the Headscale side.

Each configuration in NextDNS has an ID (an example abcdef from now on) that is needed to identify the user. After snooping around the tailscale code it looks like everything needed is to set a resolver (in DNSConfig) with addr https://dns.nextdns.io/abcdef and the tailscale clients will use NextDNS as their resolver.

In the config a nice way of using it would be:

dns_config:
  nameservers:
    - nextdns:abcdef

Is this something that could be considered?
