The problem

Some DNS (especially professional version DNS) may correspond to multiple IP addresses, some of which are not very fast, but these DNS addresses do not support direct use of IP (for example: https://1.12.34.56/dns-query), but only can use hostname (for example: your private ID.doh.pub).

Proposed solution

So I hope Adguard Home can specify the IP address of DNS servers hostname.

Alternatives considered and additional information

Use the following format.
encrypted [DNS-over-HTTPS]:
Use the same hostname.

https://unfiltered.adguard-dns.com:443/dns-query[Specify IP address 2(IPv4/IPv6)]
https://unfiltered.adguard-dns.com:443/dns-query[Specify IP address 3(IPv4/IPv6)]

You can use your own bootstrap DNS server to do that, AdGuardHome will respect that.

If what you're requesting is a way to assign an IP address to a hostname that can be used without a bootstrap server, you can already use /etc/hosts for that. Is that what you're requesting?

Not only that, this requesting has the advantage of being able to correspond the same hostname to multiple IPs.

@ainar-g AdGuardHome already supports to use /etc/hosts as bootstrap? Sounds great :)

@yaozijin, that sounds a lot like #5217, so merging into that one.

@fernvenue, it has been supported for quite some time, but we broke it for a few releases and then fixed it. See #5902.
