Thanks, this seems to have already been fixed on master:

    commit c586d984f279aa61de4f5dfc4f6df660188dd0f6

        Make `dns-mode` fontify quoted values correctly

        * lisp/textmodes/dns-mode.el (dns-mode-syntax-table): Fontify
        quoted values correctly.  (Bug#62214)
        Suggested by Trent W. Buck <[email-masked]>.

However, the patch on master only has:

+    (modify-syntax-entry ?\" "\""   table)

But your patch has this:

+    (modify-syntax-entry ?\" "\"" table)
+    (modify-syntax-entry ?\\ "\\" table)

Do we need the second line there, too?  If yes, why?

Perhaps this fix should be cherry-picked to emacs-29, as well.

Thanks.
