On: 1.1.1.1 for Families

[_l4jh]

If you run a pi-hole create a config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d such as 02-archive.is.conf with the following

    server=/archive.is/8.8.8.8 
    server=/archive.is/8.8.4.4 
    server=/archive.li/8.8.8.8 
    server=/archive.li/8.8.4.4 
    server=/archive.to/8.8.8.8 
    server=/archive.to/8.8.4.4 
    server=/archive.today/8.8.8.8 
    server=/archive.today/8.8.4.4

And restart dnsmasq (or just reboot the pi)

This will resolve the common archive.is domains using Google's DNS service rather than 1.1.1.1 but everything else via 1.1.1.1 as normal.

I just installed pi-hole and it says version 4 doesn't use dnsmasq anymore [1].

edit: Nevermind, your configuration worked. I verified after flushing DNS cache that archive.is was at first inaccessible, and now after a pihole reboot it does resolve. Thanks!

I wonder if this is another way to set up the same thing with PiHole's "FTL-DNS" [2]
