Question about network setup on a UDM. I have been doing some research on the settings and configuration.

For a IoT network if I select guest network can I still turn mdns on that network for my trusted devices to easily work with AppleTV and my phones? Or am I better off to make that a normal network and just control all that through firewall rules?

Also say I have something in my IoT network that has to connect to another network if I did do guest could I create a firewall rule that over rides the guest option? My assumption is the guest is just making it non routable to other vlans.

Also before plugging devices in if have the MAC addresses can I setup dhcp reservations by typing a host name I desire with ip and Mac so when they come online they get that specific ip? (Mostly for migration from current firewall to UDM to keep same ips).

Final question is it seems there is some built in ad-blocking. I see it can be done at the network level but can I set it to specific devices only and not network wide?
