Mozilla Firefox to begin slow rollout of DNS-over-HTTPS by default at the end of the month

Re: Hosts file

Default behaviour in Firefox is to fallback to the OS configured DNS if the DoH resolution fails (fail including NXDOMAIN here). The behaviour is set by network.trr.mode

What it might do, though, is break any split horizon DNS you might be doing. My approach to that was to run my own DoH servers and split-horizon them (i.e. dns.bentasker.co.uk is 192.168.1.1 or whatever at home, and points to my public infra when resolved from the net)
