### PiHole Conditional forwarding for multiple VLANs
If you have multiple VLANs on your router, then you might want conditional forwarding of all your subnets back to your router.

1. Create a new file:
   ```sh
   sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-custom.conf
   ```
2. Then add, e.g.:
   ```sh
   server=/5.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.1.1
   server=/9.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.1.1
   ```
   Which covers `192.168.5.0/24` and `192.168.9.0/24` respectively.
3. Restart PiHole:
   ```sh
   pihole restartdns
   ```
