Add Static DHCP Option to Allow Specific Clients to Bypass Pi-hole

Feature Requests Closed or Out Of Scope

I have a few devices on my network that do not function properly while using the Pi-hole for DNS. These devices do not allow manual IP configuration. I've tried using the Whitelist to no avail.
It would be nice to be able to set an alternate DNS server per device via the Pi-hole static DHCP options.

This feature does exist, but not as a web GUI option. The entries are made in a dnsmasq configuration file as described here:
