Unable to keep DNS resolution local for 1 host

Hi

Running Pihole in a VM and mostly everything going well, Setup DoH/Cloudfalre for secure DNS and very happy!

Followed the guide to create a lan.list file and configure pihole to reference it, works well for all hosts i add to it except one

This is my NAS, now i have created an entry, for example (not actually mine, but you get the idea 192.168.1.1 nas.mydomain.com nas

Now i do own mydomain.com as i expose my cctv part of the nas, i have the matching hostname added in my external DNS provider being cloudflare.

So as i said, all other lan hosts respond locally, the NAS however, if i ping say just the word nas, i get a response from my external IP address. no matter what i try, it tries to out and back in

I do also use DoH with the pihole which also uses cloudflare on the public dns side, however i would have though it should hit my local lan list first??

What guide did you follow?

Thanks for that, i use a Unifi USG router, but i dont wish to use hairpin here, the pihole should honour my lan server config and respond with the local IP?
