Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for use in a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry, wherein to configure the UE for an edge application server (EAS) discovery procedure using a local domain name system (DNS) server, the processing circuitry is to:
configure the local DNS server as a DNS server for a protocol data unit (PDU) session, the PDU session established based on an uplink classifier (UL CL) insertion for a data path between the UE and a PDU session anchor (PSA) of the PDU session;
encode a DNS query for transmission to the local DNS server via the UL CL and the PSA, the DNS query including a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a new DNS server;
decode a DNS response originating from the local DNS server, the DNS response including a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the FQDN of the new DNS server; and
encode uplink (UL) DNS traffic for transmission to the new DNS based on the IP address; and

a memory coupled to the processing circuitry and configured to store the FQDN.
