How can I check specific golang net/http error code?

package main

import "net/http"

func main() {
     req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://domain_does_not_exist", nil)
     if err != nil { panic("NewRequest") }
     client := http.Client{ }
     _, err = client.Do(req)
     if err == ???
}

I would like to check my GET request for specific error(DNS resolve error). How to accomplish this?

Package "errors" has functions As, Is to unwrap specific error types, and package "net" has a *DNSError type. So:

var dnsErr *net.DNSError
if errors.As(err, &dnsErr) {
    ...
}
