The DNS and DoH servers to be checked have to be added to netwatch with
specific comment:
/tool/netwatch/add comment="doh, hostname=cloudflare-dns" host=1.1.1.1;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="dns, hostname=google-dns" host=8.8.8.8;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="doh, dns, hostname=quad-nine" host=9.9.9.10;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="doh" host=1.1.1.1;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="dns" host=8.8.8.8;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="doh, dns" host=9.9.9.10;
This will configure *cloudflare-dns* for DoH (`https://1.1.1.1/dnsquery`), and
*google-dns* and *quad-nine* for regular DNS (`8.8.8.8,9.9.9.10`) if up.
@ -39,15 +39,15 @@ If *cloudflare-dns* is down the script will fall back to *quad-nine* for DoH.
Giving a specific query url for DoH is possible:
/tool/netwatch/add comment="doh, hostname=nextdns, doh-url=https://dns.nextdns.io/dns-query" host=199.247.16.158;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="doh, ame=nextdns, doh-url=https://dns.nextdns.io/dns-query" host=199.247.16.158;
Note that using a name in DoH url may introduce a chicken-and-egg issue!
Sometimes using just one specific (possibly internal) DNS server may be
desired, with fallback in case it fails. This is possible as well:
/tool/netwatch/add comment="dns, hostname=pi-hole" host=10.0.0.10;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="dns-fallback, hostname=cloudflare-dns" host=1.1.1.1;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="dns" host=10.0.0.10;
/tool/netwatch/add comment="dns-fallback" host=1.1.1.1;
