I know that Azure private DNS zone should be linked to the VNET.
Does it apply to the Azure DNS zone as well? Should we integrate the azure dns zone with VNet? If not, how does the request reach the Azure DNS zone for name resolution?
Only Azure Private DNS zones need to be linked to Virtual Networks.
Azure DNS zones are supposed to be used for public name resolution so you would probably own the domain name and point it to Azure DNS resolvers so that the DNS records that you add to the zone can be queried publicly.
I found this post to be helpful.

We have a virtual machine created in Azure which is using a private VNet configured with custom DNS servers in order to domain join the VM (eg. contoso.com)
Now we have a private DNS zone (eg subdomain.contoso.com) created in Azure which is linked to the same VNet as the VM. However, we are not able to resolve the private DNS entries from within the domain joined VM as I believe, Azure query the Azure private DNS with the IP 168.63.129.16
Is there a way we can forward DNS requests from a VM in Azure VNet using custom DNS servers to Azure private DNS zone linked to the same VNet?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
By using Azure Private DNS, you can resolve domain names in a virtual network without the need to add a custom DNS solution.
By using private DNS zones, you can use your own custom domain names rather than the Azure-provided names available today
Is there a way we can forward DNS requests from a VM in Azure VNet
using custom DNS servers to Azure private DNS zone linked to the same
VNet?
If you have created custom DNS private zone, you can enable Autoregistration feature so that DNS requests from your VM in the VNET will be forwarded to the Azure private DNS zone
I am setting up a private dns zone in azure because we are moving our API management instance behind an application gateway. i enabled the vnet link between the zone and the significant Vnet, but it does not seem to be resolving, neither from the appgw and also not from a vm in the linked Vnet. What am i missing here?
Check if any resources is registered in private zone. Also it’s worth to check the dns settings on VNET, if it is pointing to default Azure DNS.
i created VM behide Azure Load Balancer. i want to use custom domain to Load Balance Public IP. for example i want to access url like 'xx.mvg.com' instead Load Balance Public IP from internet. how i can do it?
i tried to did followed reference link 'https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-custom-domain' but still not working.
Please recommend how to register my domain name i wish, i want map my domain name to my application running on VM behide Azure Load Balancer.
and Azure have service about internet domain registrar?
about your last question - no, Azure have only Azure DNS, which is not a domain registrar, but a DNS as a service.
Easiest way to achieve what you want - assign a dns name to a public ip (called dns label here) and create a CNAME record in your DNS for that DNS name. or just straight up create a A record in your DNS and point it to your public ip.
Is there a way to point an Azure NIC to the records one created in an Azure DNS zone?
At present Azure DNS doesn't support private DNS zones, i.e. those only available to your vnet. Also, the DNS servers specified in the "Add DNS server" box needs to be a recursive resolver, Azure DNS is an Authoritative DNS service, i.e. it will only serve answers for the zones it hosts.
We can't add Azure DNS zone to NIC custom DNS. The custom DNS required IP address, we can add the DNS server IP address to it.
For example, we can add 8.8.8.8 to it, also we can add local DNS server IP address to it(need VPN). Or create a Azure windows VM and install DNS role on it, and add this VM ip address to it.
If you want to use Azure DNS zone to manage your records, we can map your own domain name to DNS zone, and add name servers to your domain name(add this by domain name registrar manage webpage).
The following image shows an example DNS query about Azure DNS zone:
If you want to add record to DNS zone, and you want to map your 3rd party domain name map to Azure DNS zone, we can follow those steps in that answer.
Note:
Keep in mind Azure DNS is not the domain registrar, we should buy domain name from domain registrar(like godaddy, register.com).
Update:
If you just want to use domain name in your virtual network, there is no need to buy a domain, we can use AAD DS in our virtual network. Or we can deploy a VM and install DC on it, work as on-prem.
By the way, in the same virtual network, we can ping VM's name by default.
Is there a way to create a local domain name (i.e. .cloud)
inside my azure account to point to internal IPs? (10.0.0.0/16)
Thanks
Azure provides a default DNS based on hostnames for VMs in a VNET. If you just need simple name-ip resolution. Additionally you can provision your own DNS server, and assign it to the vnet or nic:

Do you mean you want to use a customer domain name?
If yes, we can should buy a domain name, and deploy a VM on Azure, and point the domian name to this VM, add DNS roles on it. Other VMs use this VM's private IP as DNS server, in this way, we can use customer domain name.
Azure DNS does not currently support purchasing of domain names. If
you want to purchase domains, you need to use a third-party domain
name registrar.
For example, we can use DNS in this way:
