New configuration info

Hi to all, i have installed a pi-hole on my home network and working fine.

now i have a question with 2 configuration:

  1. use ad/dns/dhcp on server 2016, setting up a dns forwording to pihole all comunication dns arrive with dns microsoft and in this case i lost all information about single client traffic.

  2. use pihole dns (with conditional forward to dns microsoft) and in this case i lost all domain dns name but have all client information.

is there a configuration to synchronize the microsoft dns with pihole to have both the domain part and that query?

I don't know if Microsoft server 2016 DNS is capable of adding EDNS data such as subnet and mac information. If you could add this, Pi-hole could identify single clients. You would need EDNS Client Subnet (ECS).

You could also consider to change the order of your resolution chain:
Configure Pi-hole's IP address(es) as local DNS resolver in your router, and configure Pi-hole to use your Windows server as its only upstream.
(client -> Pi-hole -> Windows server -> public DNS)

From this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dnsserver/set-dnsserveredns?view=windowsserver2016-ps windows dns have thie feature.

now i set pihole default dns on dhcp server and work fine, the my problem is add static dns windows server and replicate on pihole.
