I'm curious if its possible to have a local dns server that doesn't have the rest of traffic going through it but still be picked up automatically when you plug a random Ethernet device onto the lan? Routers don't normally have a setting to enable the separate DNS server do they?It's easy enough to set up a DNS server on a Pi using pihole, standalone dnsmasq, or bind9/isc-dhcp-server (or heck, even kea). Or, use ndm and avoid editing config files altogether. Easy to backup, restore, move to another Pi, etc etc. And the router can then do what routers should be doing: route
