Recently started pointing my MB Nano SD to my PiHole DNS server, and noticed it's my top DNS client with 350-400 dns queries per 10 minutes. Given nothing is actually changing from query to query, seems like a very minimal dnsmasq setup (with a cache of like 50-100 entries) would be plenty to remove that extra network traffic.

Is this feasible?

For example, these are 3 of the top 4 (allowed) dns lookups for my entire network. These numbers are over the last 24 hours. The highest is also from my MB Nano looking up my website's FTP server IP. I've got over 60 devices on my network all querying against this DNS server.

Sorry, but this is not a problem at all.

Understood it's not a problem (why it's a Feature Request, not pointing it out as a problem). But it would save a bit of network traffic for minimal cost in memory. Just curious if it could be enabled for systems with enough RAM.

Moved my MB Nano back to using my router for DNS... it's just drowning out any useful stats from Pi-Hole.

Would really love to see an option, even if it's "unsupported" to turn on a simple DNS cache on the MB itself, especially on the Nano and the Pro. There's enough ram available for an extra 1-2MB of RAM being used by dnsmasq. Would really only need to cache like 50-100 dns entries.

The blue "waterline" on the attached graph is entirely my MB Nano. Which largely dwarfs all other clients (except the random spike from my Synology).
