How do I reroute a specific device to a specific DNS

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

I've been trying to figure out how to set a specific device to a certain DNS, I've looked at this document on how to do it DNS Hijacking, but the issue is, is that it affects the whole network, I just want one specific device to get forwarded to a specific DNS without the whole network getting affected by it.
Thanks

Specify the source IP or MAC address of the client device in the rule

I have but now I don't know what to do afterwards

DNS hijacking should be the plan B in case the host is bypassing the nameserver assigned to it individually by tagging.

Well, the problem for me, is that I can't use PuTTy as well. How would I do it on LuCI?

I don't think it can be done in Luci.
To make hijacking work properly though you'd need to use the cli too.

Generally speaking, the simplest way would be using DHCP reservation (for a given MAC) and send the required DNS IP in DHCP response. However I do not see the way to configure that from Luci.

Ok, thank you though

You can try to install the luCi-CLI (feeds/luci/applications/luci-app-commands) which will give you Shell command entry thru the luCi interface..
