Describe the bug

While trying to create new DNS entries with:

PS /root> Set-HoloDeckDNSConfig -DNSRecord '10.1.1.200 test-a.site-a.vcf.lab'
Get-Content: Cannot find path '/dnsmasq/dnsmasq_configmap.yaml' because it does not exist.
30-05-2026 03:39:35  Unknown[2871788]: [ERROR] Failed to configure DNS entries
Failed to write to log file: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is an empty string.
30-05-2026 03:39:35  Unknown[2871788]: [ERROR] The property 'hosts' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
Failed to write to log file: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is an empty string.
Exception: Exiting Function Set-HoloDeckDNSConfig
PS /root>

Followed by some troubleshooting:

PS /root> Set-HoloDeckDNSConfig -DNSRecord '10.1.1.200 test-a.site-a.vcf.lab'
Get-Content: Cannot find path '/dnsmasq/dnsmasq_configmap.yaml' because it does not exist.
