super useful for being able to use cloudflare dns but still resolve the archive.* domains using a different resolver (because archive.* blocks cloudflare for ideological reasons):

    conditional:
      mapping:
        archive.is: 8.8.8.8
        archive.today: 8.8.8.8
        archive.md: 8.8.8.8
        archive.ph: 8.8.8.8

here's the same in dnsmasq:

    server=/archive.today/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.ph/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.is/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.li/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.vn/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.fo/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.md/8.8.8.8
    server=/archive.to/8.8.8.8

Which is what pi-hole uses if anyone is curious.

Is that why? I’ve been having this problem intermittently for years now and never understood it. Wow.
