Support for CPE-ID in ControlD

Hello ControlD Team and Users,

I would like to suggest adding support for the Customer Premises Equipment Identifier (CPE-ID) in ControlD. This feature would enhance device management within home networks by allowing unique identification of each device, thereby simplifying DNS settings customization.

Key Benefits:

Unique Device Identification: Precise identification of each device enables tailored DNS settings and policies.
Simplified Network Management: This avoids the need for manual configuration or reliance on Dynamic DNS (DDNS) for devices with dynamic IP addresses.
Enhanced Security: Better tracking and management of devices, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Improved User Experience: Streamlines the setup and management process for network devices.
Implementing CPE-ID support would align ControlD with other DNS services that already offer this functionality, such as NextDNS. It would be a valuable addition for users seeking advanced network management capabilities.

Thank you for considering this request. I believe it will receive strong support from the community.

Best,
Markmaster
