Issues regarding ipv6

That looks good for now ...
but that 2a02:a210:XXX address is a GUA (Global Unicast) address as can be seen below:


The prefix (being pushed by your ISP) in a GUA address can change periodically.
Meaning the IP can change and most likely will after a while as with many ISP's.

Preferred is to set the ULA (Unique Local) IPv6 address for DNS which doesnt change:

Or if thats not possible, configure the LLA (Link-Local) address of the Pi-hole host.

You can see what IPv6 addresses are configured on the Pi-hole host with below:

ip -br -6 a

And test connectivity from a client PC (Windows/MacOS/Linux) to above mentioned ULA or LLA addresses with below:

nslookup pi.hole <PIHOLE_IPV6_ADDRESS>
