Is there a way to assign a specific DNS to specific clients in the LAN ?

sirivanhoe · February 2021

Hi,

behind my USG60 there's an Asuswrt-based router which is the first contact point of my inner LAN. In the Asuswrt router I had configured per-client DNS Filtering. Now as I installed also an ad-blocker, this will conflict with the DNS Filtering. Is there a way to move this per-client DNS filtering onto the ZyXEL USG ?

Yes then make views with match-clients for ACL to forward to set DNS.

If I understand the title you want the USG to do DHCP to give each client a given DNS? You can't do that but want you could do is setup a bind DNS with views and ACL to have given clients to go to given DNS forwarder.

Hi Peter, thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Peter. I should find a box to give this job to, and study a bit of bind as I recall reading it requires some consciousness in configuring it not to open some security concern. But it might be instructive on the whole.
