Solved: Adguard Home and VLANs that can't access the internet

I am running OpenWrt 22.03.3 on x86. I used the firmware selector to make a custom image that included Adguard Home, luci-ssl, and a few other items. I am running 3 vlans: 192.168.1.1(local access), 192.168.10.1 (main), and 192.168.20.1 (guest).

When I set the following, Adguard Home will not start and I don't have internet on the vlans but the router can access the internet.

dns:
  bind_hosts:
    - ::1
    - 127.0.0.1
    - 192.168.1.1
    - 192.168.10.1
    - 192.168.20.1
  port: 53

When I set the following, Adguard home works, I have internet on the vlans, but the router can't access the internet.

dns:
  bind_hosts:
    - 192.168.1.1
    - 192.168.10.1
    - 192.168.20.1
  port: 53

The only way I can get everything to work properly is to set the bind dns to 0.0.0.0 in adguardhome.yaml. It seems like a bad idea to use 0.0.0.0. My current adguardhome.yaml and dhcp are included below.

Here's my adguardhome.yaml file.

i figured it out. I just needed to put the single quotes around the.
