I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.

I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn’t access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?

    You’ve opted to take control over a critical piece of network infrastructure. This is to be expected.

    There’s a reason DHCP provides for multiple DNS servers to be listed. Having redundant DNS servers is a common setup. So yes, multiple piholes if you want stability.
