Local IPv6 on RB750

[Ppanfil]

I am trying to change my DNS servers on the Orbi RBK752 (AX4200) running V3.2.17.12 to my own, Pi-Hole DNS servers.
I've searched up some things, and apprarently NETGEAR does not allow for local DNS servers to be used, but wanted to check and see if anyone else found a way to set this!

Of course it does.  I set up my Pi-hole as an experiment. Worked fine. (I did not configure the IPv6 for that test).  Orbi handed out its own IP as part of the DHCP setup, but rather than use the ISP's DNS servers, CloudFlare, Google, etc. I just pointed to the Pi-hole.

Devices ask Orbi, "where is abc.com?" Orbi asks Pi-hole "where is abc.com?" and Pi-hole asks where I pointed it "where is abc.com?" and then they all merrily cache the results (Pi-hole, Orbi, device)

IPv4 works just fine, but I'm trying to change the IPv6 DNS server which is when I get the issue.
I've reposted this on the Orbi AX forum:

This might be a question for the Pi-hole community.

I noticee when I do "ifconfig" on my Pi-hole, I get two inet6 addresses (maybe one public and one local?)

Neither worked when you put them into the Orbi Advanced Setup, IPv6 entries for DNS?
