Feedback:

can we suggest that theres a mention somewhere that if you are attempting to do a wildcard redirect then ensure that there are no mentions in the host overrides to that domain.

i've been struggling to get this working for a few hours now, only to find it working once i deleted mentions to the same dns name in host overrides and by magic the custom options now work.

edit: oh it does mention it, but more so in the DNS MASQ section, when i was doing this for unbound

i wonder if this could be cleared up more to make it clearer

That isn't quite true exactly as stated, but I added some text to clarify what is happening in those cases and how to work around it.
