Don't know how AdGuard does this, but pihole returns 127.0.0.1 for ad-serving domains. I don't know enough about DNS to guess why it does that instead of return

Don't know how AdGuard does this, but pihole returns 127.0.0.1 for ad-serving domains. I don't know enough about DNS to guess why it does that instead of returning a failure, though my guess is that maybe doing so prevents software from falling through to a user's secondary DNS server.
