 `controller.defaultBackendService` | default 404 backend service; needed only if `defaultBackend.enabled = false` | `""`
 `controller.dnsPolicy` | If using `hostNetwork=true`, change to `ClusterFirstWithHostNet`. See [pod's dns policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/#pod-s-dns-policy) for details | `ClusterFirst`
+`controller.dnsConfig` | custom pod dnsConfig. See [pod's dns config](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/#pod-s-dns-config) for details | `{}` 
 `controller.reportNodeInternalIp` | If using `hostNetwork=true`, setting `reportNodeInternalIp=true`, will pass the flag `report-node-internal-ip-address` to nginx-ingress. This sets the status of all Ingress objects to the internal IP address of all nodes running the NGINX Ingress controller.
 `controller.electionID` | election ID to use for the status update | `ingress-controller-leader`
 `controller.extraEnvs` | any additional environment variables to set in the pods | `{}`
