The issue I am facing:
The local DNS records in the UI doesn't seem to do anything
Details about my system:
Dockerized pi-hole running on rpi4
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
No changes- this feature has never worked for me.
Interestingly the pi-hole does stop shopping _gateway and instead shoes router.jam
Run from a client in your network, what's the output for:
nslookup pi.hole
nslookup router.jam
nslookup 192.168.10.1
Appreciate the response here is my output

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ nslookup pi.hole

Your client is using 8.8.8.8 for DNS instead of Pi-hole.
Please take a look at Pi-hole's Post Install documentation.
I'm sorry I gave the wrong output. I provided the output from my raspberry pi running pihole and not a client.
here's my output. Is the possible resolution still to follow that doc?
andresmonc@andresmonc-A520M-S2H:~$ nslookup pi.hole
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

1.10.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = _gateway.

Router DNS:
Wherever the local DNS service at 127.0.0.53 on your client is forwarding DNS requests to - it is not Pi-hole, or the answer would have been Pi-hole's IP address.
You'd have to configure that local DNS service to make use of Pi-hole.
Thank you for the help Bucking_Horn
My router required me to update this in 2 places and I was missing it in the DHCP Server settings
and I already had it setup under DNS
Commonly, it is not necessary to configure your router to use Pi-hole as its upstream DNS server if you are already successfully distributing Pi-hole as local DNS server via DHCP.
Also note that your previous configuration would have allowed your router to by-pass Pi-hole via 8.8.8.8.
As stated in the linked docs, Pi-hole has to be your only DNS server.
