How to serve a specific IP for a specific FQDN?

[wsw70]

I just set up Adguard Home for my domain example.eu.

I have on my network devices that will request mqtt.example.info and I would like to always return them 192.168.10.2

I thought that using DNS rewrites would be the solution so I created a rewrite for mqtt.example.info (did not work), and then *.example.info (did not work either).

Is this the way to go, or should I directly edit the configuration file, or isn't it possible at all?

The DNS rewrites feature should work, and if it doesn't, there may be a configuration mistake in your devices of client settings.

But a better way to do that is through the dnsrewrite rules.
