Control D not resolving when devices use CARP VIP as DNS server

Hi all,

I decided to move from Unbound DNS with forwarding rules for Control D, to their ctrld service.

All my clients are set to use my CARP VIP (192.168.1.98) as their DNS server. This used to work flawlessly with Unbound. However, when using ctrld, my clients do not resolve. Even though I see the queries come through in my Control D dashboard.

When I force my clients on my main or backup ip (eg. 192.168.1.1) directly, they resolve without issue.

Anybody else facing this or know how to fix this?

Thank you!
