Pi-Hole not blocking ads

For my top clients, the first ip is my laptop at 2329, with the router’s ip coming in at a close 2nd with 2317 and a total of 12404 requests over the last 24 hours.

So 2329 lookups from the laptop addressing Pi-hole directly are accounted for.
The other lookups the laptop does against the router IP are obscured in the other 2317 lookups from the router where you dont know where coming from.

I’ve never looked to even see if there is such a thing as a backup (replication?) dhcp server, but if there were such a thing, and it were usable in pihole, then I would feel so much more confident in using pihole for dhcp.

This is an entirely different subject
But lots of users have two Pi-hole systems for redundancy.
Default time to live for the DHCP leases is 24 hours so plenty of time to turn off DHCP on one Pi and flip it on on the other.
Maybe some leases might expire during the switch over time but the clients dont give up their IP address that easily.

High availability (HA) for Pi-hole (running two Pi-hole's)

Migrating this feature request from GitHub: I'd love to see the option of running multiple PiHoles in your network and a means to keep all of them in sync (whitelists, etc). Ideally, only one would serve the Web Interface, and it would show stats for multiple PiHoles. (the other PiHoles could be "satellite" PiHoles or something) The use case is the following: I have PiHole running flawlessly in an Ubuntu Server 16.04 VM in Hyper-V. But this is a single point of failure - when I reboot my Hy…
