The way to get around this is to have your router block outgoing dns requests to anything but your dns server (which I have my pihole do double duty for)

I’ve come across devices where they will stop functioning or flood my network with DNS requests if they can’t reach their baked in addresses. I setup a redirect rule to handle that. ANY 53 request gets redirected to my DNS server. I’ve had similar issue with NTP and had to do the same.
