[PLUG] Pi-Hole v6 working?


Has anyone got Pi-Hole v6 working?  I tried to upgrade from v4.something (sigh, yeah, that's quite old) and it was a failure.

After a few false starts, the upgrade appeared to work, I was prompted to disable `lighttpd`, which I did..  The new HTTPS console worked, all the stats were there, etc.  Just one thing, external addresses could NOT be resolved, because the Pi-Hole v6 appended ".jpsdomain.org." to every query, like `google.com.jpsdomain.org.` so every external query was NXDOMAIN.

Example from `/var/log/pihole/pihole.log`:
```
Mar 30 17:22:38 dnsmasq[877]: query[A] forecast.weather.gov.jpsdomain.org from 192.168.99.1
Mar 30 17:22:38 dnsmasq[877]: config forecast.weather.gov.jpsdomain.org is NXDOMAIN
```

Nothing I did the in Pi-Hole web UI fixed the issue.  I did play with "Expert" settings in https://pi-hole.jpsdomain.org/admin/settings/dns, like:
	[x] Add Pi-hole domain name: Domain: jpsdomain.org
	[x] Add "Conditional forwarding" line: true,192.168.0.0/16,192.168.99.1,jpsdomain.org

My LAN DNS server is my pfSense, so changing that from Pi-Hole to 1.1.1.1 Just Worked.  And of course, Pi-Hole v4 was Just Working since 2018.  So Pi-Hole v6 is broken for me, or I failed to find or tweak something that changed from v4 to v6.

Since the node is a VM with a snapshot, I just reverted it and v4 is Just Working again.

Any clues?  Thanks,
JP
