I only want it do one thing, gives the locally configured IP address when it has the records. Otherwise go talk to 8.8.8.8.
Any suggestions?

A lot of people are suggesting pihole. I used pihole for awhile and it was neat. Then I bit the bullet and got an actual mini-pc router with a bunch of NICs on it and put OPNSense on it. I now use Unbound DNS on OPNSense and it has made my network a lot easier to manage & more stable.
I use unbound on Opnsense as well.
works well for me except for Paramount app on my TV, it contacts every damn advertising tracker known to man and refuses to start a video if it can’t.
Work arround was to set a static IP on the TV with specified DNS.
Pihole will integrate with unbound. Pihole already caches as well. The advantages of unbound are debatable.
OPNSense ban list is WAY too aggressive.
I believe you can use different lists, however I will say that I no longer use any sort of DNS adblocking because it broke some applications my wife needed for work. I imagine I could fiddle with the block lists and find ones that are less problematic, but I determined that it ultimately causes more problems than it solves for me.
