XR500 - content filtering, sort of.

I see I can block services, All IPs, Single IP or Range of IPs.  Makes sense.  What I want to do is filter all DNS queries (regardless of static DNS IPs on the IoT devices or not) from the LAN through a local DNS server (RPi-hole), not block it entirely. Can that be done with the XR500 as a standalone or do I need different hardware to accomplish this?  Even looking at Pi-Hole DHCP services, it does not offer this level of NAT services.  Thoughts?

I believe I've heard people have used PiHole with it before, I may be mistaken. If not then there is no way I know of to do this at the moment with the existing firmware.

You should be able to use Dynamic DNS in Settings to achieve this and use your own domain.

Doesnt DDNS only provide a simple way to find a way into my router/LAN, not control what's on my LAN from getting out or simply filtered through my internal DNS server ex: 192.168.1.250 DNS server.
