Defender for DNS covered under Defender for Server plan 2?

Defender for DNS now shows "deprecated" and ask if you would want to switch to Defender for Servers plan 2.

The documentation related to Defender for DNS shows this update:
As of August 1 2023, customers with an existing subscription to Defender for DNS can continue to use the service, but new subscribers will receive alerts about suspicious DNS activity as part of Defender for Servers P2.

My question is if we switch to Defender for Servers plan 2, would it cover everything about DNS that was covered under Defender for DNS? I am asking this as Defender for Servers doesn't say much about covering DNS under its Plan 2.

When we switch to plan 2, Defender for DNS gets turned off, which suggests that Defender for Servers plan 2 does cover it all, however, would appreciate better clarity on this and if there is any proper documentation that explains this, please let me know.

Regards,
Rakesh Singh
