I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.

I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn’t access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?

    That sounds cool. I’ve never messed with scripts on Mikrotik, but would it be possible to share what you have?

    I’m guessing a relatively short DHCP lease time is also in play so devices can get the new DNS address? Or do you have Mikrotik set as the DNS server?
