Description
I find this situation confusing and propose a couple of resolutions:
- If the option 'Block Outside DNS' should stay on both the server and client config, can you put some information in the client exporter why this option is here as-well.
- Remove the 'Block Outside DNS' option from the client exporter. It can always be added into the custom options going forwards if the admin wants to add it

- Status changed from New to Rejected
The two options cover different scenarios: The option in the base pushes to all clients, the option in the client export activates it only on specific clients. It gives the user control over who gets the option and who doesn't. The same is true of any options in the same context.
It's in the package for convenience and to make it more obvious that it's possible. Yes, anything could be put in advanced options (or made GUI options) but we try to strike a balance of convenience. Removing the option would make it less convenient and it's been there for years and very few others appear be confused by it vs those that find it useful.
