As of iOS 14 / MacOS 11 Big Sur pihole logs a lot of "OTHER" queries.
It turns out this type 65479 record is actually a new SVCB/HTTPS record type. See: Speeding up HTTPS and HTTP/3 negotiation with... DNS
I know this has been discussed before. In light of this new insight, I wonder whether this does make sense to add.

Thanks for your suggestion, we're actively monitoring the situation but the SVCB/HTTP type hasn't been standardized yet. The most recent draft of the standard can be found here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https/
As you can see over there, the draft is constantly being edited (last edit Nov 2, 2020) so things may still change.

Add special handling for `SVCB` and `HTTPS` query types as specified by [this](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https/) IETF draft, section 2. Usually, we would not add query types still in draft mode, however, this time a big player in the market (imagine a bitten into fruit) decided to push something not even yet standardized into the market. Hence, many users are seeing this new query type now. The move from this vendor makes it unlikely that the standard can be much different from the draft (without needing a lot of effort), however, we stay fully flexible with Pi-hole as we're only storing a numeric value in the database and can change its translation into a name at any time.
