Support for CNAME next to host-record

Feature Requests Partially-implemented
#1

I noticed that there new support for host-record in development It would be nice to also support CNAME to make restricted search possible.

https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/2978

host-record=safe.duckduckgo.com,50.16.250.179
cname=duckduckgo.com,www.duckduckgo.com,safe.duckduckgo.com
cname=duck.com,www.duck.com,safe.duckduckgo.com

It is not in the future database so groups is not possible.

How I see it working:

You could then think about the two entry fields for host-record and IP address. Then a bigger field in which you can past the CNAME domains or just type them in. This is optional because you donā€™t always want to add CNAME entries.

Pi-hole will then in add them to the config file and put ā€œcnameā€ in front of the list and attach as last the host-record. So a working entry is created and you donā€™t have to hackā€™ into the filesā€™in /etc/dnsmasq.d for this anymore.

Import /etc/pihole/custom.list for easier safe search enforcement
New security features

Progress on that

I don't think that what I intended. The hostrecord is in a Pihole file and cname in a dnsmasq file.

If it works together has to be seen.
