Is there a way to define a custom IP address for blocked hostnames, like have pi.hole respond with a specific A name record for all blacklist hostnames instead of block them altogether?
So the only option is to use the pi.hole's IP address, no other IP address?
I guess I will have to modify the web server files and configuration to do what I want.
Thanks.
If it's a specific hostname that you want to resolve then you can use local DNS records via the web interface to create your own A records.
Right, but I was looking to point all of the hostnames in an adlist to an IP, not just individual ones.
I will look in to modifying my pi.hole web server, but that will mean future updates will be a pain 
Before you get too deep in to that, what is it that you are trying to accomplish? Intercepting a hostname in an adlist is not going to be very effective if that hostname uses TLS or is on the preload list.
OK now I am confused.
I mean, I understand what you are saying, but why does that only come in to question when I want to point the hostnames to something other than the pi.hole IP address?
What is your end goal?
