Looks good, but I want to MitM my network. I want youtube.com to redirect to my internal server that only has a few approved videos. My kids do some nice piano lessons from youtube, but every time I let them they wait until I'm out of the room and then switch to something else. There are lots of other great educational videos on youtube, but also plenty to waste their time on. (I want this myself as well since I won't have ads on my internal youtube server - plus it will add an extra step and thus keep me from getting distracted to something that isn't a good use of my time to watch))

Increasingly that kind of requirement puts you in the same camp as oppressive nation states. Being a network operator and wanting to MitM your DNS makes you a political actor. Devices you paid for, but don't actually own, will end-run your efforts by using their own hard-coded DNS servers. (See https://pc.nanog.org/static/published/meetings/NANOG77/2033/...)

With mikrotik and presumably other vendors you can force dns to your dns. I do this so i can pi-hole everything and see what sneaky things devices are doing.

Sort of. That doesn't help if they're doing DoH and you're unwilling to MitM all the SSL (and, if you are, then you have to worry they've pinned certs).

Luckily DoH doesn't seem to be implemented by devices yet. And I could do MtM, because most devices don't really seem to verify their tls certs.

One day they will do both, but that day is probably far away.

And they are on my network, so if they don't function without their own DNS that's OK by me.
