Where domain hunters compare notes

Is there a simple way to have qbt use a different DNS similar to web browsers? I’m on nextDNS free account and monthly quota goes out in a week if I have qbt active(seeding).

It's not the resolution of tracker domains that's using up the quota but something about large peer lists and reverse DNS lookups. That's what AI tells me at least after I shared the DNS logs. And I have a huge list seeding obscure torrents over the years(~500) which might be exacerbating this issue. I already have an automation that resolves domains to fixed IP for common tracker list, so their resolution isn't many in the first place.

I think docker/podman like solution required if no way to set different DNS to qbt? But I don't know how complicated it would be to set targets to persistent storage in my PC.
