The DNS service on my on-premise VM is not able to resolve the inbound endpoint in my DNS Private Resolver

I have a on-prem server with DNS services enabled that I am trying to configure conditional forwarding on with my inbound endpoint from my private resolver. The on-prem server is on a network that has a functioning S2S tunnel to my Azure Vnet. I have a Azure private DNS zone that was generated when creating a private endpoint, linked to the VNET.

From the on-prem server I can telnet to the inbound endpoint on port 53, and I have confirmed that port 53 is open on my on-prem network. Even though I have network visibility into the inbound endpoint and can confirmed that port 53 is open, I am still unable to resolve the inbound endpoint IP. I have tried using a conditional forwarder using the domain of the private DNS zone, and I have also just tried adding the inbound endpoint as a standard forwarder, and it cannot resolve.

I feel I have this configured exactly as described in documentation and recommended guides, and have exhausted a large number of troubleshooting options. Does anyone have any ideas? Please let me know if additional details are needed.
