Golly. I fixed it rather easily. It was my router dnsmasq options. server=192.168.0.1 screwed things up. Dumping that and replacing it with local=/ff/ did the needful.
Bad:
dhcp-option=option:dns-server,192.168.0.21
server=192.168.0.21
domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-resolv
expand-hosts
Good:
dhcp-option=option:dns-server,192.168.0.21
local=/ff/
domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-resolv
expand-hosts

link #2 - last 7 days
link #3 - since I set Pi-hole up
