Looking at purchasing Firewalla Purple. Is it possible to assign DNS at the device group level? I have certain hosts that require specific DNS. I was able to accomplish this before with my ERX.

  You can control the DNS service to use at the group level, but not the individual DNS servers. For example, you can choose to use Unbound for some groups, DoH for other groups, and your WAN's DNS servers for other groups.

  It is also possible to forward DNS requests for specific domains to specific DNS servers. I use that feature to forward DNS requests for my work DNS domain through the VPN client for work, but other requests go through my regular DNS provider and not the VPN.

  Thanks for the reply David. Wish I had a virtual Firewalla to play with to validate these things before pulling the trigger.
