AdGuard Home and private reverse DNS Servers (Purple)

Afternoon all!

I'm trying to get my different services to play nicely and one of the tricker ones I'm running into is getting the Purple box to play nicely with an Adguard Home server I'm hosting on an unRAID server. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get AdGuard Home to leverage the Firewalla (currently my DHCP server for all internal networks) as a private reverse DNS resolver.

My hope is that I can establish some sort of way to properly connect them so that my statistics within AdGuard Home properly reflect what devices or services are making calls instead of just having a collection of unmanageable IP addresses.

Has anyone else figured this out, or does anyone know if this is even supported by Firewalla Purple currently?

Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help at all!

Yeah, if your using a pihole or Adguard home and have VLANS, dns can be special with Firewalla. I would love to help, but after fighting this forever I moved on to another solution.

Having all the various DNS components of Firewalla in one management area would be idea, along with overrides, real interface for underlying DNSMASQ as well would be wonderful, along with DOT/DOH per VLAN support.... but alas its a dream.
