DHCP Option 6 in Route 10

I purposely have a bit of a strange Home Network setup to test different equipment and setups with various features.

We use a network wide DNS Based adblocker, but our ROKU will refuse to load shows on different apps like Paramount+ or other. To get around this, we use DHCP Option6 to assign a non-adblocking DNS Server to just the ROKU Client.

Whenever switching to the Route10 to test out the new feature releases, there is never a way to do this for that specific client.

Is this a feature that will come in the future? Is there any workaround for it currently? I think this is one of the last few features that prevents us from switching to a full Alta Labs network stack at home as our “backbone”

Maybe I am misunderstanding the infrastructure you have set up, but could you not just put the Roku on its own vlan and send that vlan out to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8?

We don’t repeat Multicast / mDNS Traffic on the VLAN. It is a guest VLAN that has its Roku(s) on the Guest TVs. We want them to be able to Cast to the Roku, thus keeping it on the same network with the DNS Filtering.
