I need to make a small DNS entry on my home router

This is for work, I need to make a very simple entry in the DNS record for my home network to forward traffic for one url to one device. I cannot see a way to do it either in the Xfinity App or the router's admin page.

You can't set DNS on Xfinity gear.

Another feature disabled. 

You might be able to set DNS manually on a client and point it at your own local resolver if you are trying to do that.  Maybe do it with a "hosts" file in your OS, or if it's a VPN connection, have the VPN admin push DNS servers and routes to bypass your DHCP settings?

I'll add that it can't be changed on an individual network client anymore either as the Comcast rented gateway devices no longer act as DNS forwarders / DNS relays.
