Hi,
I have set the router up so that it uses two public DNS servers. I also checked the box to append the router's IP as a third DNS on DHCP.
The issue is that the router's IP comes third, i.e. DNS1: 208.67.220.220, DNS2: 208.67.222.222, DNS3: 192.168.1.1 and when I want to resolve local hostnames (that aren't pinned in the DHCP table), they don't resolve unless I put the router's IP first. If I do that however, I lose the slot from DNS1.
Is there a way to keep DNS1 and DNS2 as they are, but have the DNS mechanism fallback to 192.168.1.1 if it can't find the hostnames there? Trying to resolve hostname.lan instead of hostname doesn't make any difference.
