There are settings to specify which DNS servers the Orbi will use to resolve URLs into IP addresses.

There are no setting specifically addressing how the Orbi handles malicious attempts at "DNS Rebinding"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding 

 

Perhaps more detail about the problem will help.  What, specifically, is the goal?

For example, if the goal is to set up a local domain so that devices on the LAN can be referred to by URL rather than IP address, the Orbi DNS software does not provide for this.  I use a Pi-hole server to perform this function to access the web server on my printer.

i.e. rather than http://192.168.1.4, I can browse to http://printer.local
